That tree looks like a Japanese Maple (A. palmatum, not A. buergerianum). A 4-5 year old Trident would be a lot bigger than that, even if grown totally in THAT pot. I have Trident seedlings that are just in their 2nd year that are that big, and have a little more branching on them.

I say this because what you can do with a Trident is a LOT different than what a Japanese Maple will tolerate.
