Korean hornbeam literati

Its a good thing I don't like doing things that are easy. I am going to continue what I am doing with this.

Just an update and to log my progress. Pushing new growth. I need to take another pic since there is twice as much now.

Let it grow for a while and gather some energy. Maybe even extra foliage that will be cut off in the future. There's not enough foliage here to allow the tree to get really vigorous.

Thanks.
That is the plan. I am only doing a clip and grow with this so that will help me a lot.

Very nice tree you've got going there.

Nice choice to try a literati early in your career.

Nice choice of material, both the species and this particular tree's trunk movement.

Nice choice to only use clip-and-grow.

Nice choices so far on what to keep and what to cut.

Great tree!

I also admire your efforts to grow a Fukien Tea tree ... I've never known anyone in America to keep one alive for very long, myself included, so don't feel bad about losing that one.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate the feedback. I tried a fukien tea again and same result. So I'm done with them.
