Hey there boys n girls,
I swung by my favorite bonsai nursery today to look at some stuff. They have some American Hornbeams in stock, (which I specifically went looking for) but they are in god awful shape, not doing well at all. The owner showed me the few that he had and told me that I could take any or all of them for free. We talked about why they looked so ratty and the owner blamed it on the heat of South Florida, but i'm not quite sure, because to be honest, it seems like some of the nursery is kinda starting to get away from them. So my question is, are the hornbeams worth it? Can they thrive here in zone 10, or is it really too hot for them and I'd be wasting my time? Also, does it make a difference if they're American or korean variety? Appreciate any input, thanks.
