Carpinus orientalis – Hornbeam – 78 cm
A Carpinus orientalis bonsai characterised by a height of 70 cm (excluding the pot), a trunk diameter of 3.5 cm and a nebari of 9 cm. The plant is grown in an oval glazed stoneware pot measuring 30x25xH8 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 highly decorative appearance. It has a harmonious, natural-looking trunk, with well-spaced branches that branch out in a balanced manner, creating a structure that lends balance and depth to the whole. Grown in a cream-glazed oval stoneware pot, it enhances the composition without distracting the eye; it highlights the light colour of the trunks and creates a contrast with the bright green of the leaves in spring and summer, or with the yellow-orange hues typical of autumn.
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.
