A very promising tree Andrija.

I love the trunk formation.

regards,
jun

that,s great material, with great development.

great work and good tree!!

everyone uses a beer, packet of cigarettes or mobile phone for scale in photos, i also prefer to use a cat, much more natural!!
very nice tree, seems like all of you in your part of the world have a good supply of these hornbeams. always enjoy seeing them, thanks.

nice. wheelbarrow size.

Nice tabby, too. What's its name?

This kind of pot will be look better.

Sure this will look much better in a different pot eventually. As one can see this was a major task to get it into any available pot last November. It is amazing how quickly these oriental hornbeam look reasonably good very soon after collecting and very first styling.

Fantastic and powerfull. Congratulations.

In contrary it is not easy to find good material! Our trees are result of 10 years of walking in nature, all winter and search for right one to collect.

Hi Marija and Andrija

Really you are very beautiful and interesting trees. Yes, I agree with Marija. It is not easy to find and collect interesting trees. Many years of preparation and searching.

Gretings Pavel

respect to you guys. they are beautiful trees and your hard work is paying off. nice cat too.
by the way i hope you didn't think i meant they were easy to find, i know how much work it is for you, i was just pointing out that where i live there is none of these and i wish there was!!

Today cut back and virtual of pot.

Wonderful material. Great fore-thinking work. These Carpinus seem to have encredible restorative energy and you folks have been able to really harness this with great control and artistry.

I would like to say,, From your start til now you have created a wonderful bonsai !!! i know they are hard to find but you did good.. looking foward to more pictures...good luck take care john

Those trunks and base are impressive, great tree and those fibrous roots amazing.

How about a much more shallow pot?

Shallower pot is beter. Also we will hide part of nebari by planting the tree 2-3 cm deeper in pot (like on virtual). That completely changes feeling of the tree!

Marija and Andrija.

I always enjoy your posts though I hardly comment on them (me being not worthy and all).

Your blog is on my top 5 go to when I need "inspiration." I specially like how you document the bonsai progress, for a newbie like me...it is a great learning tool. Sadly there is not many who do the same...especially with the same caliber/quality as your stock.

Thank you for sharing and more power to you.

I like the shallower pot too. Do you want to hide some of the nebari as in the virtual potting? I like the fuller base when its planted higher.
That's an impressive tree. Like to see it in fall color.

Hello Marija.
I agree, a shallower pot, less yellow and indeed i feel the tree will have more - with less nerbari.
The tree speakes more with the horizontal plain, it gives more communication with the earth.
When one is planting this higher you got a different story told.
