Korean Hornbeam

Tree hight 12cm
15 years passed after a branch cuttage.
I have been taking care of this bonsai for about 8 years.
Hornbeam tree has small pretty leaves. It has long been liked as a bonsai
In minibonsai, it is important to restrain the strength of the top part.
Because it tends to become weak as much as the bottom branch, the bottom branch is left long, and it is important to measure a balance with the top part.
The branches of top part which tends to become strong is cut after 1 bud or 2 bud, and it tries again so that it doesn't make the twig of the bottom grow weak.
As for the transplantation, in 1-2 years, once. About early April is suitable.
