I have been looking at hornbeams and can not decide which one to purchase.
Either American or Korean. I live in charlotte which is zone 7b. I'm going to
buy them from evergreen gardenworks. Any comments would be appreciated.
In my opinion, the Korean Hornbeam is a superior specimen for bonsai culture.
Its leaves are quite desirable in size, and if the proper techniques are
used, you can develop outstanding ramification.

See http://members.aol.com/iasnob/Koreanhornbeamwinter.html for an image of
one of my trees. This collected specimen has been under design work for 15
years.

Cordially,
