I have a 3 trunk in development. I like this one as is. It has a charm that removing the 4th trunk would ruin.
Just my opinion, but that's my stand. If this had been just the 3 trunks, I may have passed it by. In time, I think that all 4 can work together.

I like it just as it is. Don't worry about the even number! It might be a problem with four similarly-sized trunks, but with the one smaller trunk, it is almost a combination of three and one--both odd numbers! (do you like the rationalization?)

I like this clump. I think 4 trunks is fine. I would leave it that way until you can convince yourself sacrificing the fourth is what you want. Stick to your guns, in other words. Beautiful little clump!

When you're tired of it ill take it... :) All four trunks intact please. Oh, and leave it in the Koyo when you send it too! ;)

Beautiful hornbeam Judy! I just got my first last fall, and I've fallen in love with them.

It may take a long time....

And not that I am against 4 .....

But maybe you can start a 5th?

I just love the ones I have seen...
I think you and Mach have one?

I'd be leaving it at 4 for sure.

Table one with colour and feet of the last one. Accent is to high for me. Colour of the accent pot too equal with the pot, the slab it's on, what is it? Depends on how wide you can make your display. I do like the tree very much.

That's funny Dirk, I wish it could be that easy, that interchangeable parts... I don't know how wide the display can be. There is a thread called which table that shows other accent if you take a look at that. The slab thing is rock. Better pics of that on the other thread.
