    Hedge Pruning a Trident Maple

    I purchased this trident maple online, and am not sure why ... Upon receiving it it has more faults and issues than good qualities. Lots of ugly scars, a one-sided nebari, and some nasty reverse taper. The only thing going for it is that it's big and unique looking. I am not sure it will...

    Growing a twin trunk 'Mother Daughter' style American Hornbeam

    I acquired this collected American Hornbeam (Carpinus carolina) from fellow Bnut member @lordy around 7 years ago. Below are the pics when purchased back in 2018. It had a nice curving trunk that was interesting, and a large spreading nebari that I thought (at the time) was nice. Spring 2018

    Bending an Old Wisteria

    Howdy Nuts, I wanted to share some details about an old wisteria in my collection. I got the tree from @lordy a couple years ago, hopefully he can chime in if he recalls any details about the history of the tree. If I remember correctly, it was dug from an old member’s yard around 2010, and...

    Digging a Large Trident Maple

    This Trident has been growing in my yard for around 10 years, I think it was probably around 5 years old when I planted it. I had a bunch of earlier pictures of the trunk development, but naturally I lost them. I've allowed it to grow to 15-20 feet and chopped it back to the ground around 5...
