This Trident Maple pair was purchased as a seedling (tube stock) in August 2007. I potted in November 2007. My though was to train 1 straight up and the other (wired) to curve upwards. Photo taken Feb 2008.
This photo was taken 25 April 2008. I have intertwined the 2 maples. I had these in direct sunlight through early summer, causing the leaves to dry slightly - I have since moved to a sheltered position. My intention is to keep the taller maple groing upwards and wire the smaller one out to the right.
