Making the Most of What You've Got: Ugly Trident Maple into Broom Style

Today I'm taking the first steps to try to turn this ugly trident maple into a believable broom style bonsai. The nebari on this tree is not great, nor does it have much movement. What it does have is two straight-as-an-arrow leaders at the top of an ugly chop. Can we do anything with it? Will it work? We'll see in a year or two. Cut paste used in this video is Small Trees Cut Paste. Handmade in small batches; easy to use and has antifungal properties. 🌳👕Small Trees Cut Paste, Chopsticks, and merchandise: https://www.smalltreesfarm.com 👇Social Media👇   / _small_trees_   https://fb.me/smalltreesbighearts I don't have a Patreon, but if you'd like to toss a dollar in the tip jar, it's here 👇    / @smalltrees   Music: ‪@PurrpleCat‬
