Developing my Hornbeam Stumpy Bonsai Tree

From a 7ft garden centre tree to a 5inch pre- bonsai In the making, this video charts the history and development of my hornbeam stumpy bonsai tree inspired by an image in Harry Harrington’s fantastic book Bonsai Inspirations 1.
Enjoy 🙏

Nice work! I have been amazed how quickly the wire on my hornbeams has bitten in this year.

This one has been sat neglected for the past 12 months. About time I took a look at it 😀

You definitely made the right decision with that initial trunk chop and now it is just a lot of hardwork and patience required! At least the carp will have something to watch as they get bigger too.

Hello Jason
I´d like to see a 360 here to see the movement of the trunk.
