The pot at the moment appears a bit too large. The crown will become larger by 25 % and the trunk will gain in girth by one third due to the hedge cutting method within the next four years. Then it will look right.

Trident maple #9
A week ago this tree was 'recklessly and with utter disrespect
mutilated' by me to be seen in a public video. The pot was 'sprayed with
can paint' - unbelievable. Well, it was hedge pruned and the pot was
sprayed with silicon. A couple days later the maple was planted into the
great new pot by Tom Benda. 'Recklessly with full foliage still on and
at the worst time of the year. In addition the roots were shortened with
a saw - how incredible!'. The 'biggest problem is the beginners will
see this and copy it'. Well, this is why I show it. In the end methods
can only be judged by results. It was remarked that 'this man’s trees
would be outstanding had they ever gotten into the right hands'. Oh I
would love to see the results and learn from that.
