BE BRAVE and Develop Your Trident Maple into a Stunning Bonsai!

In 2017 I purchased several cheap Trident Maple Bonsai. Today I demonstrate what to do with ‘pot-bound’ circling roots and BIG unwanted branches. You have to be tough with this terrific bonsai species. These are two transformations and will set my Tridents back on the path to Bonsai Majesty (I hope)...
