This is my first post here.
Glad to be a member, been growing pre-bonsai stock for about 10 years while apartment living, now I have a house and space to get more into actually trying to style some of these trees. I lurked here years ago but am getting serious enough about the hobby I figured I might as well join.
Anyways, I found a nice lady local that was getting having difficulty re-potting her large bonsai/garden in her age and was selling off a ton of plants.
I bought this trident, and a pomegranate.
Not sure if it is two trunk, or two trees. I probably won't re-pot until next year, and for now I am just going to pinch it and trim the obvious dead stuff.
The nodes are pretty clumped up , I want to wait until the tree loses its leaves to see what the branch structure looked like. You can tell the lady kept it in some sort of rough bonsai training, because it had cut paste and very hasty shape- but some stumps weren't concave cut. It appeared that once a year she (or someone) cut it back hard and that was the only maintenance.
It looks like it will be a neat little tree hopefully, its very healthy.
Any opinions on design, or defoliation? (never defoliated one of my trees)
