I repotted a field grown Korean hornbeam today. It has a nice nebari on one side of the tree [about 5 inches deep on a straight root into the rootball...] The other side has a nice nebari at the surface of the soil. I scraped a little of the bark in a few spots further up the trunk on the below soil level root/nebari and applied rooting gel. But, I think a tourniquet using wire around the awkward root/trunk side just below the soil on that side may be a better option. Have any of you ever used the tourniquet method on Korean hornbeam? I thought about lowering the soil line to the lower nebari as that side of the trink is larger [about 4 inches] however since the other side of the tree has good nebari at soil level this would lead to severe reverse taper.
