I collected this nice little hornbeam on December 29, 2020 from my woods, had pretty good surface roots and a really nice radial nebari. Washed the roots and placed it in an 11 inch pond basket. The cuts I made on the major roots are too far away from the trunk in hindsight, which will set me back when/if I decide to hack them closer to the trunk in the future. I was too afraid to lose the feeder roots
attached to them.
Leafed out in late March, and here it was on April 14:
Lots of healthy growth, recovered very nicely from collection. As you can I wired in the leader which came about right where I wanted it. The wire damage the very vigorous leader so I removed it shortly after.
