English Hornbeam Bonsai Material - Starter Tree

Carpinus betulus
Native to the U.K carpinus is a principle woodland species that can make a very big and majestic tree which is exactly what this beautiful bonsai does. In bonsai cultivation the tree prefers a little protection from the sun in summer and will thrive in very light shade. Completely hardy in the U.K Hornbeam is a very simple and robust tree that is rewarding to care for and train as bonsai.  Throughout summer regularly remove large leaves and those that either hang down or grow inwards.
