Thi is a European mountain maple. This is the natural growth pattern of a maple. Does not look at all like the trident maples we see in bonsai magazines.
I think this could well be used as an image for styling a trident maple. And indeed I call it informal broom form. It is kind of funny that one of the most common forms of natural deciduous trees has to be reinvented for bonsai because it is not yet in bonsai books.
best regards
