Korean Hornbeam Bonsai Starter

$29.00 USD

Korean hornbeam is a highly prized species for bonsai with beautiful small leaves and a fine twig structure that almost makes a bonsai by itself!  There are a variety of conflicting names for the species possibly due to the natural genetic variation within. We propagated these from a Chinese seed source named as Carpinus turczaninovii. (we think the pronunciation is car-PĪ-nus turk-zan-in-Ō-vee-ī) 

In their second growing season, these starters are in 3.5 nursery containers and are 3-9" tall.  They have been greenhouse grown so leaves are slightly larger than normal, but will revert to smaller size as they continue to grow.

Hardy to zone 5b as a landscape tree, we suggest you protect from temperatures below 32F as a bonsai.

The photos are representative and are not the actual tree you will receive.
