Korean Hornbeam 2005 - 2010

I bought this tree 2005. I thougt the tree needs a radical change to make a bonsai of it.

2005


There were ugly wounds of cutting the tree.


.. and a lot of branches on the top.


So i shaped the trunk from the roots to the top. Then i looked which part of the tree is living before i continue the work with the tree.


two years after beginning


March 2010


and now


I think the tree is on the right way.

Better taper and you have lost the ugly scar...coming along nicely!
