Shohin
I've looked around and I haven't found any discussion on binding maples specifically, so here's the question.
I just came into three trident maple seedlings (about 2 feet tall, 1/4 to 1/2 in diameter roughly) and I was wondering if trunk binding is a viable option for getting some trunk thickness, relatively, quickly.
I'm thinking about turning them into shohin either way (separately or together). Ground growing isn't really an option in zone 7 so they'll need to be potted either way. On that note, due to the relatively straight growth at the moment, I'm thinking formal and/or informal upright would be a good option.
Please send advice and/or hate mail.
