Leong at Bonsai South normally maintains a selection of tridents of reasonable girth. You might not find what you want this week and in a fortnight have too many choices. Definitely worth a go if what you are after is a good solid trunk. In many of his trees they have been allowed to grow so while they are 40-50 cm high most branches are going straight up and well past the manipulative stage. It is a case of removal and regrow... but you have the trunk. Check it out....
