Trident Colour

Post by Ryan1979b »

Just a quick snap shot of my trident maple this winter. It has bought out some excellent colour compared to the previous years :tu:

Hi Ryan,

That is a cracker of a trident maple. I can only imagine what it will look like in a proper bonsai pot with the nebari exposed. :cool:

Cheers,

A Trident to be proud of mate! Enjoy as I understand there's a sentimental attachment to it being one of your first trees. How did you get that colour in Newcastle? :clap:

Hi Ryan,
My tridents also have much better colour this year. Normally quite muted pastel tones but this year some quite strong reds on many trees.

I'm noticing that generally the trees that are a bit under fed and/or have been under watered a bit during the summer tend to have stronger and earlier autumn colour than those that have been fed well and have had no stress.
