My hornbeam.

Really coming along nicely. I was told to defoliate my KH last year, and it didn't respond well, so I won't be doing that again. Glad to see yours handles it well.

I use leaf cutting on my hornbeams myself ... along with a deep trim it seems to work wonders and the trees don't get stressed out...

this tree is looking good after the work ...

Well, instead of wiring over the past couple weeks, I got to dig post holes and put in a fence. I did give it a bit more triming, and now the second set of leaves are emerging. I think I love this tree.

Beautiful Hornbeam.

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Beautiful! Very natural, good foliage coverage; not too dense. Is it getting a bonsai pot soon?

Thanks, BVF. I have maybe a couple ceramic pots that might work, but if not I can get it into a mica pot for sure come spring. Then after that I should have a better idea about the roots and can start shopping for a "final" pot for a few years down the road.

BTW, your maple looked great, definitely keep the branch.

Thanks, funny, I ended up removing the bottom quarter of the branch about a week before the show, probably as far as it needs to go for a while.

Did you decide on a pot for this hornbeam? Spring approaches!
