A year of Bonsai development for my yamadori Hornbeam

Enjoy the progression of my field grown hornbeam bonsai over the period of one year. It has its first repot, an initial styling, and pruning and finally, a radical re-think! Did I make the right choices or would you have done something completely different? Let me know in the comments…

I dug this Hornbeam from Aveland Nurseries (field-grown) in Dec 2019 and left it in a plastic tub for 2 years to recover.

God Bless and Happy Bonsaiing,
Xavier
