For those of you that haven't an idea of what we are talking about here is a picture of my "little trident".
Long story about how I came to dig this thing out. All I will say is that my first wife misses some shade in her front yard.
It was about 25 foot tall then and is now about 3 foot tall.
Still have to thicken up a few branches but it has only been a few years since I got the thing ;o)
Not the best picture. You have to look close to see that there is another tree in the background that sort of blends into it.
It is my next repotting project. Any volunteers to help out

Actually I like Mike Page's (?) set up with the swing set. I've got one of them!

A straight repot isn't bad. Especially from bonsai soil. Clean up the roots, work on any problems and your done, the tree survives.

It's the nursery can junipers and pines that I hate. Almost always a lot of rot and involves a lot of water and cussing... gotta save them root tips! And more times than not a dead tree or a five year wait is the reward...
