Thank you so much it really a matter of time… the pot was done about twenty years ago and currently been offered to teach ceramics at the college, SO big plans on the horizon for pots!

Curious if you know any good sources for American and or Korean hornbeams in California? All the korean hornbeams I've run into are tiny and dangly shrubs and haven't found any American Hornbeams.

If I come across any I’ll be delighted to report on them!

Which makes me wonder how big this one is. I find these scale so well, that often the trees look much larger than they are..

They had a bunch of Korean Hornbeams last time I was there. Quick trip from Oakland as well.

The both of them are not large. The tree shown is approximately 2’[60cm] in total height. Nebari is approximately 2.5”[6cm] .
They are a fine specimen. I harvested seeds from both last year and struck a dozen seedlings. They are about anywhere from 6” to 12-14” depending on the individual! Also took as mentioned above, an airlayer for the first time.
Here a photo from a year previous showing the bench area with the “nasty” j. Virginianna in the back.

You better mean the nasty awesome cedar
Hi vancehanna - congratulations, nice tree. Do you have any tips or details you could share for your Korean Hornbeam air layering process? I have been trying unsuccessfully for a couple of years to air layer my Korean Hornbeam (and American Hornbeam). Cheers.

Hi W3rk
In February this past year I did a ring of bark removal about a .75” and applied a rooting hormone and generous amount of spaghnam moss and wrap with polyethylene. I regularly injected water via syringe 1x a week and 2x a week in the heat of summer. In late September it was rooted and cut and planed into a bonsai mix a bit heavy with humus.

So pretty standard process, thanks for responding. It seems I've just had poor luck.
