Hornbeam No.11 progression

A couple of December images without foliage.

Hornbeam after repotting and slight change of the position. Now, sitting in the pot much better. It took only 15 years to remove sufficient amount of thick roots and elements.

patience and persistence... lovely tree... and great to see how over very long time you tackle some of these obvious challenges that material has. We all have same problems... and here I can see how they are getting solved (or hidden )

Collected material presents many challenges, and it requires some time to deal with them. I was lucky to find and save this tree (now the place is bulldozed, and a stone mine extends where it was growing in 2010) and develop it into something presentable. And you are right: We sometimes have to hide our ugly parts and show only the good sides. We are lucky if there is a good side to show. Thanks again

Can't wait to see it with all the foliage. Very nice!
