Very informative and worthy of "An Advanced Bonsai Techniques" thread.

(I saw your post elsewhere)

;-)

Tried similar with a smaller version this season.

All my other tridents are going strong in a field but this one looked dead for sure until..............................
I nearly chucked it last night and noticed some very very small buds a poppin' so will give it another chance.

Web site is looking good BTW.

What sort of time frame you looking at?

Have undertaken similar work on some feeble old "starter" trees posted over on the Gallery as "Total Re-build" but nothing of this standard.

It's interesting how your attitudes and perceptions change over 8-10 years and the long view gets more important when you're creating yourself.

I even cut the last bit of anchoring string off one of my larches last week.
