Second American Hornbeam from Nursery Stock. Posted some possible fronts and measurements. Decent radial roots. Could cut the thicker trunk up top. Want to keep this chuhin sized height wise , but once thicker upper branch is cut, regrow the leader and plant it in a flat in spring or big training pot is the direction.

I like front #4, starting to show the fluted trunk I love to see on hornbeams.

That looks like a great hall! I wish I had access to more American Hornbeams out here in Cali. One I picked up this august was on sale/slim pickins. Nebari is a mess.

Looks dumb now but as I took it from nursery container to pumice and put into plastic can.. started a ground layer to get more radial roots on one side that had none.
