Still available. I'll pm you Das Dude.

I don't think he repotted yet this spring.

Thats not good post a pic. I'm prob a little warmer then you here in CA, yours could be behind mine. Hornbeam tends to be second to last to leaf out for me.

Here's some shots showing the nebari, and an overhead view. And the largest cut on the back side of the trunk. It's sealed with a dark green cut paste, attached one showing it starting to roll over on the edge as well, this particular cut will take a few years to heal completely. In fact i'd...

I don't, I hadn't planned to sell the tree this year so I didn't take any this winter.

From these pics It looks good no black tips yet, just don't prune it for a year. Maybe it's on the verge, If you trim things could go downhill. No need to spray it imo.

I skimmed the pages so forgive me if I missed something. What's going on with the trident isn't a fungus you can treat. It happens mostly to trident which have been imported from Japan and have gotten weak. The tips of those curled leaves could turn black. If they do those leaves will likely...

As for the Korean hornbeam it's not a finished tree, it's a work in progress. I got it from another grower a few years ago and did a bunch of large chops on it. Got it into proper bonsai soil, akadama, pumice, lava, a bit of charcoal (Boons mix basically.). It still needs ramification...
