Korean Hornbeam Advice Needed

[Sonny85]

Hi fellow bonsai nutters

I've left this little korean hornbeam to grow wild over the last couple of years, but now I can't decide how to shape it as it's a bit of a mess!

Any tips or advice on hornbeams would be greatly appreciated as it's the only one I've got so not 100% on its growing methods.




(brought inside just to take the pics but it's always lives outside)

I'm open to any style or shape.

Cheers!!

If you have a garden, maybe approach graft a sacrifice branch or two to the lower section and then fieldgrow for taper
