Just wanted to share with you guys and get some opinions on the overall direction of a Korean Hornbeam.

The first two were taken this spring and the plan was just to allow everything to grow out again and construct a new apex.

The last two, were taken just a couple of weeks ago and happily the growth has been strong. Overall, the plan is to leave the top and and side growth alone and allow them to develop. You can see in the one pic that the trunk has a pretty serious back-arch to it and the foot on the right is fairly pronounced. I was thinking along the line at some point of possibly reducing the size of the base-depending on the root structure. Also, I think it can use root work at some point to develop a stronger root spread.
Do you guys see anything different that you would do with the trunk? I'm not planning to fool around with the base for another couple of seasons, but I'm trying to develop somewhat of a plan.
