Shohin Hornbeam
I pulled up a crappy little hornbeam in my woods last year basically because it just came right up with a tug. Didn't want to just throw it out, so I put it in a pot and forgot about it. Until I just noticed that it would make a nice shohin bonsai if I pruned it back.
So, I'm just wondering will its leaves reduce enough to make a shohin over time?
And I'm thinking super small shohin may 4-5 inches in height max.

Re: Shohin Hornbeam
Leaves will reduce, though I'm not sure if they'll reduce enough to fit a 5-inch tree. The leaves of the American hornbeam are a bit larger than those of the Korean or (I think) European species.
They're fairly good growers, though, so I'd put it in a larger, shallow pot than you might want and leave it there while you start work on ramification, etc. It might make a better 10 inch tree.
