Dylan has posted a bunch of new Korean hornbeams, field grown with 1.5-2 inch trunks. Shipment was quick and came bare-rooted.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I also had a positive experience with Cedar Rose. In 2025, purchased 2 Cedrus atlantica and 2 Cedrus brevifolia. All were extremely healthy and packaged nicely.
its not hijacking, this is just so other bnut members know where to look to buy.

Mad at myself for missing out on the Beautyberries he sold. I had no idea you could even get trunks that big on them!

May be worth clarifying these are Japanese Hornbeam. Still awesome!

I find Japanese hornbeam are much more vigorous then Korean Hornbeam. The trunks on this threads tree must not started stripping yet along the trunk. I love the way they bark up as well. Leaves aren't that hard to reduce,, at least after good ramification they aren't. But yeah amazing material he got there so totally agree
.100% correct, apologies, I also already KH and just mixed them up.
I am really excited to work with it. I have about a hundred seedlings and one big bald , cypress from cajun rider. will be fun to work on something out of the growth phase.I find Japanese hornbeam are much more vigorous then Korean Hornbeam.

@MMJNICE if you have any tips or suggestions , i'm all ears. i haven't repoted something so big yet and spent a long time trying to Get the soil, mix down Under all the roots. I've been a little worried. I left air pockets or the slightly off-season repot might over stress and kill the tree. i still probably have six weeks until spring weather - its currently at 43°F in my basement near the bulkhead doors.

>is the second picture before or after you pruned the roots just curious
. And I would expect you get pretty strong growth this year if it's just being dug out the field. The tree will never be this strong again so the early repot shouldn't hurt the tree much. I admittedly do early repotting of my trees a little to much it can be a little risky but as long as it's protected from freezing over solid and it never dries out you'll be fine. But definitely keep it in your cool basement till the freezing risk is over.I actually didn't do hardly any root pruning.It came bare rooted like that. the Only thing I did was cut a few large roots back just an extra half inch to fit it in the pot , but being wary not to lose any appreciable fibrous routes
