Carpinus betulus (hornbeam) bonsai, a deciduous variety, prized for its elegance and bright green serrated leaves. The foliage turns a golden yellow to brownish-orange in autumn and is bare in winter, giving it a very decorative appearance. In spring, flowers may appear in the form of pendulous inflorescences called catkins: the male catkins are longer and more showy, whilst the female ones are smaller and more discreet. Following flowering, small winged fruits develop in clusters; these are decorative but not particularly showy. It is grown in a round 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.
