Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) Elegant Trunked Bonsai with Beautiful Styling potted into a traditional mid blue ceramic pot.
A beautifully formed and extremely hardy Hornbeam bonsai. The bark of the tree is very unusual. It is smooth, like the Beech, but is patterned with distinctive silver-grey vertical lines. Male catkins appear in spring and the bracts that held the fruit hang on the tree through winter. The fruit develops from the female catkin by August. The fruit is a nut. They are very small and are difficult to see.
In folklore, the hornbeam is a symbol of strength due to its hard, sturdy wood. It was once believed that tonics made from hornbeam leaves could cure fatigue and exhaustion. The hardness of hornbeam timber, gave it the common name ironwood, as it would blunt saws quickly. Hornbeam encourages us to be confident and to flex our muscles, physically and intellectually. It is time to break free of any self-imposed mind-trap that is preventing us from chasing our dreams. The beautiful Hornbeam is as tough as they come!
It has a really pretty elegant trunk flow. It’s a good size starter bonsai tree – 45cm in height with plenty of room in the pot for it to grow on a develop. The trunk is beautifully twinned. The two trunks are very well balanced with slender branches spreading outwards.
