I've been developing this thick trunk trident for around 15 years.
First ground grown for a few years then chopped and new apex grown a few times.
New roots approach grafted into spaces aver the past 5 years and branches grown slowly to avoid long internodes.
Time for a training pot to slow down growth and further develop the ramification.
I forgot to put some scale in so you can see the size

That's OK no scale needed, all garage roller doors are the same, aren't they!
A Bud is a bud, a Candle is a candle, a Shoot is the end result of both. You can't decandle when there are none.
