European HORNBEAM not Beech
Hello Everyone,
Edit~ This is actually a European hornbeam, I got my tree pictures mixed up...sorry for the mix up! Here is a field grown European Hornbeam that I just styled for the first time. I messed up badly and didn't get before photos. To me I think this was a huge transformation and I hope I can dig up a photo from the archieves somewhere.
First picture is after intial wiring and branch placement but with the old pot from 2 years ago when I dug it. New pot is Chinese.
The rest of the pictures show the sides, back and front. It had bad reverse taper and I was able to do some carving on a dead section of the trunk to elminate a lot of the reverse taper.
I am pleased with the tree for now and think with some additional trunk work and ramification it will make an ok tree for the bench!
Let me know what I can do to make it better....
Thanks Jason
