I would have picked the one above that. But, it's not my tree...

Cool trunk movement. I love the tree.

Growing out nicely

I would agree... Love these trees!

Growing nice may wire out some of the new tips for positioning and light pruning

I like the overall gentle horizontal direction of this tree…..a superior path of growth. I’d resist the temptation to keep moving further upright. This tree presents more of a wandering sense of interest and quiet solitude.

Excellent match up with the tree and the bonsai pot. Nice harmony of the color combinations. Mighty fine!

Agree with the horizontal approach for this guy. It shows its strength that way... Perfect pot choice as well...

The tree looks fabulous now. It will look even better wearing the autumn colors in a couple of months. I hope to see an autumn photo update.

Thanks I was raining mos too The Weeknd so the bark is more brown than usual … I will def report back and I need to do more trimming in future … I really miss the old pot it was in but alas it’s too small for the development of the tree

My Korean Hormbeam tree has slowed down to almost no new growth now. As the evenings get cooler I believe the tree cells sense the approach of autumn and begins to hold reserve energy to last over winter and then make a spring push of new growth. The last significant growth was back in early July with my tree.

Interesting. My three have not yet started to slow down...

I should get another 4 weeks of growth before colors change and temps drop low

Final acquisition of the year (unless something else tasty comes my way)
Anyway, there is a Korean Hornbeam, it’s going to be used for Shohin. Already consulted with a very helpful person on here regarding advice for further development. From the second bench top since it’s lacking some taper, will regrow once it gets its bearings into a 7” round Iker pot.
Idk what it is about Hornbeam and Beech but I’ve taken a liking just as much as conifers. Going to be a fun spring.

Thanks JMZ aka Shogun

Great tree, great pot perfect match. We wont realy know till next year? But I like it.
