Last year I had the option to obtain a somewhat larger trident starter tree.
As advertised:
As the nebari was really rough and full of holes I raised the substrate level. Too late in spring to really do much else tbh..
I just let it do its thing, with the growth reaching 2 meters in summer
Cut back hard in summer, and reducing foliage it sprouted lots of fine branches where in fall were wired out, setting a basis.
Rootwork was done recently. Ready for a new season.

I am personally not a fan of these fat shorter trees , but great job. Great progress in just one year!

I love the belly button near the bottom. Gives it a personality

some shots from repotting..
Lots of roots..
reduction to get better view of what is happening:
The roots were too tall and vertical, so work to flatten the rootbase:
And give the young roots a sense of direction before repotting:
Note: This is a process of hours .. Not a quick think before dinner!
