I recently got a 1-gallon Korean Hornbeam from Evergreen Gardenworks and I had a couple of questions should anyone have advice...
I am not looking to create a big tree from it - perhaps 12 - 20 inches tall. Currently it is about 24" tall with a fairly straight trunk with some subtle curve to it.
Would it be advisable to chop it as noted with the red line (just above the first branch) so as to create more movement and a smaller tree? Or is that cut too low as there are no other branches below it...
And as it is planted in the container with the exposed roots - can it be kept like this (it looks kinda neat) or should these "roots" be buried in soil?
Thanks for any advice you might provide!
