Within the last 12 months, somewhere I saw an article explaining how to create a large Trident, using a frame or a carved wooden bonsai facade and then encompassing the entire frame with many dozens of saplings. Supposedly, after several years, they would
grow, or fuse together into a solid (but hollow) tree. Does anybody remember what magazine that was published in? In advance, thank you to the list for your better memories.

Tony:

What you want is at

http://www.dugzbonsai.com/

Interesting idea, but it looks to me like a lot of time and effort for a
not-too-impressive result.

The article was in International Bonsai. Can't remember which issue. I saw
several of the fused trees in California last month. They are considerably
more impressive than the picture might lead one to believe.

That issue would be International Bonsai "Creating Fused Trunk Trident Maple Bonsai" by Doug Phillips. 2003/No.2 - The Summer Bonsai issue. And I agree with Julian, the trunk when fully fused is simply amazing.
