Trident trunk chop question
Hey Folks
Just found a trident trunk amongst some bushes that were dug out from my vege garden. this is exciting to me because these things are difficult to find here and i want to make this work no matter how hard or long it takes me.
This stump has already been chopped from last season by the gardener. there is slight movement in the bottom of the trunk i want to accentuate with a further chop. Strangely there is a twig growing from precisely about where i want to chop. my question is, should i grow this out as it already seems to be in the right spot? Or should i chop to just above it? I want this to become the new leader and get some movement into this tunk, ending up with a shohin sized bonsai.
ANY thoughts or opinions welcome pls.
Andy
