Trident Maple forest
My friend CK came by this weekend and we did some stuff around the nursery. He wanted to build a trident maple forest so I thought we would start by replacing some dead trees that I had in one of my forest. Well when we tried to dig up a single trident from a seed bed this is what happened. They had grown together so much that we couldn't sparate them so we just lifted them all out. CK liked it so much that he didn't want me pulling it apart and so here it is, a "natural forest." We decided that it might look best on a slab. Of course CK thought I should give it to him.
These came from a bed that I had put weed barrier in and as you can see was very shallow. The seedlings are 3 years old. It is incredible the amout of roots tridents put out.
By the way, CK had a good time this weekend at the nursery. It is always nice to have someone to talk to while working. Plus he is good help.
