korean hornbeam no. 4

Carpinus turczaninovii

Height 28" Width 30"

 

Korean Hornbeam is one of the cornerstones of broadleaf deciduous bonsai. Its muscled trunk, fantastically contorted branches, strong, powerful nature, yet elegant and refined tips make it a beautiful contrast of characteristics that elicit so many emotions. This particular tree has a powerful base and point of origination that gradually and incrementally transition into elegantly refined branches. Its tension-based design makes it a unique broadleaf form that adds a tremendous amount of aesthetic value and visual interest to an already stunning, natural tree shape.
