Re: Trident Maples
Good guess Leigh. I can see similarities from his videos. I think your right.
Thats a fair hike from Queensland though!
Looking at some these though I wonder if they should have a couple of years in the ground to heal the scars.
This is one growing field I would like a tour of

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Trident Maples
I have always wanted to visit Leong down there. Got a great reason to go down and visit.
I saw a video of him fixing up a giant elm. Nice stock...
I didn't know he could do crabapples either, I must get me one.
