I have one Trident that is starting to bud and unfortunately leaf break has occurred. Any suggestions?

BMW,

Well there is still quite a bit of Winter left so I would suggest you keep your tree in a cold room such as an unheated garage or shed. This will keep the tree protected from the elements and protect the buds that have formed. Your tree should be fine until Spring when you can put it out in the sun.

It is a well known fact that the optimum time to re-pot deciduous treas is at just on leaf burst. But what happens if you miss that window of opportunity?

Three weeks after leaf burst and the leaves have 'hardened' off then that is your next chance to do the re-pot. Just make sure you follow all the normal procedures like keeping in shade etc. I did this with some English Elms and Tridents and they didn't miss a beat. I got the information from a bonsaist of over 30 years experience.
