Excellent video and demonstration by Jim here, thanks so much for sharing. Do you know where Jim got that cut paste from or what the name of it is?
👍

I would have removed that lower branch too, it may have caused some unwanted reverse tapper. Nice start to that Maple, look forward to seeing it in future videos.

[@TrainingBonsai]

Thanks 👍

should have kept the lower branches as sacrifice branches to increase the flare at the bottom of the trunk.

I thought the same as well. After removing the branch, I think it looks good. I was planning on keeping it shohin size and Tridents grow fast, so it will thicken up with time.
