Korean hornbeam (Carpinus turczaninowii) bonsai progression—a full, 1h19m working session charting a tree’s recovery, structural reset, and refined design. We cover collaborative problem-solving, branch adjustment methods that protect hornbeam fibers, timing flexibility across the growing season, and a pruning/wiring cadence that builds ramification without stalling vigor. If you’re serious about deciduous bonsai, this is your Carpinus blueprint. What you’ll learn Build vigor after setbacks: watering, fertilization, light, and protection to drive recovery. Branch adjustment on hornbeam: when to bend, when to cut, how to avoid splitting. Timing & flexibility: aligning repot, cutback, defoliation, and wiring to tree condition. Pruning + wiring flow: clip-and-grow, bud selection, and setting primaries/secondaries. Evolving the design: trunk line, massing, nebari priorities, and long-term silhouette. Aftercare commitments that lock in gains and sustain ramification.
