Highlights:
Natural Grove Composition – A beautifully structured Kabudachi (multiple trunk) design that evokes the quiet dignity of a mature forest glade. The trunks rise together from a shared nebari, each with its own rhythm and movement, creating a harmonious group with depth and unity.
Refined Japanese Origin – Grown and styled in Japan, this tree reflects the aesthetic balance and craftsmanship of traditional bonsai culture—bringing precision and subtlety to a naturalistic form.
Deciduous Elegance – Carpinus turczaninowii offers fine, oval-shaped leaves that emerge fresh green in spring, develop into rich mid-tones through summer, and transform into glowing yellow and orange hues in autumn.
Strong Nebari and Cohesion – The broad base provides visual stability, anchoring the multiple trunks and enhancing the impression of an old tree or small forest growing from a single root mass.
Textural Beauty Year-Round – From soft foliage and glowing fall color to the winter structure of muscular trunks and smooth grey bark, this tree offers beauty in every season.
Exquisite Artisan Pot – Planted in a green glazed Bryan Albright container, the pot not only enhances the tree’s elegance but also adds a subtle vibrancy. The artisanal glaze pairs beautifully with the tree’s changing foliage and lends a sophisticated accent to the overall composition.
This Korean Hornbeam presents a serene, forest-like atmosphere through its graceful Kabudachi form. Its subtle movement, seasonal interest, and established base make it an ideal tree for those who admire natural composition and nuanced detail.
Perfect for: Collectors seeking a peaceful multi-trunk bonsai with poetic structure, year-round interest, and the satisfying potential for continued artistic development.
