All,
Thought I would share a picture taken today of my American hornbeam, Carpinus caroliniana. It was collected locally(Charlotte NC) about 6 years ago about this time of year from a friend's old family farm. It was 8'+ when dug, and was chopped back hard at collection. All the branches were developed from new shoots grown since. Unfortunately, you can probably tell where the cut was made. I am still working on the apex of the tree. This particular tree has a habit of growing "weepy" branches, I have raised most of the lower branches somewhat.
Comments or suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Martin
