Carpinus orientalis – Hornbeam – 46 cm
A Carpinus orientalis bonsai, measuring 37 cm in height (excluding the pot), with a trunk diameter of 2 cm and a nebari of 6 cm. The plant is grown in a rectangular plastic pot measuring 23x18xH9 cm.
A Carpinus orientalis (hornbeam) bonsai, of the deciduous variety, is prized for its delicate branching and finely serrated leaves. The foliage is a vibrant, bright green in spring and summer, turning from golden yellow to brownish orange in autumn, and becoming bare in winter, giving it a very decorative appearance. Its structure develops with a gentle slope along the trunk in a harmonious and natural way; the well-spaced branches branch out in a balanced manner, creating a structure that lends balance and depth to the whole. It is grown in a rectangular dark brown-black plastic pot, which showcases the trunk and foliage whilst offering practicality, lightness and durability for optimal cultivation.
Grow bonsai outdoors all year round, taking care to place it in a sheltered spot during the colder months and in partial shade during the warmer months.
Always respect the dry and wet cycles: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water it thoroughly. Then wait for the soil to dry out before watering again in the same way.
