i bought a Carpinus betulas that looked quite similar for the same price a couple years ago which was also good value
interesting. I find prices to be distinctly lower here. I would not see that re-sell at the 400E level. (In fact trees over 250E are slow sellers)

Always good stuff. I find this one a little on the overpriced side, considering the larger chops, and the need to make at least one more. But aged piece. Thx for sharing. Glad my yard is full or I might be tempted

thats the cheapest ive seen these at, anywhere and this is a fair sized lump, theres 3 trunks there.

Thar Kaizen Carpinus is now sold, so the price must have been good. It was on sale for less than 24 hours.
Id have seriously considered it, at a different time.

THink you can see where this will go, once the top-sacrifices are gone (Now in place to close a few cut-clean-ups)

Nice, this is very cool. I've a Carpinus still in a large air pot, bought beginning of this season and not done anything with yet.. is one of my winter projects, needs ALL the work done to it.. will have to decide on its future and put the first stamp down on it. Its not as interesting as yours or the one for sale that Bobby posted but its a big lump, I'm sure something can be done.

Nice! New project for someone!
Prices are highly subjective :)

Ive never seen a European hornbeam with such gnarly aged bark, very interesting tree. could be a raft or semi cascade

i'd opt for raft and stick that top nose in the soil

this is the other one, its for sale

many thick branches, most are already thick enough for the trunks and can be grown and clipped back for taper.
a plethora of workable low branches. at one point i even thought about removing the main trunk completely on this one, because there is a good clump in here, with that second thinner trunk as the main trunk and all the ground cover

Too bad you're on the other side of the pond
