Korean Hornbeam Nr 2 from 2005

Hi,

In 2005, I bought three unformed Korean hornbeam. This is one of them and this is the best looking in 2005.



2005 i just watched the tree and he could grow without cutting.



2006 I reduced the rootball from 10 to 5 centimeters in height and i repotted the tree in a big pot so that he could make a lot of new roots.

2007 i startet to proceed the tree. I removed all branches that where too thick. With thick branches you cannot wire nice movements. So just a few thin branches stayed.



On the left side the tree (or i) had a problem. The upper branch has a good position but he is too thick. The lawer branch was right, but the position was bad. So i tryed to make the upper branch thin.



2009 the tree was strong enough that i could make the branch thin.





Here is the cut 3 years later. It healed well and i could cut the lawer branch.



This is the tree a few days ago.
