Carpinus betulus - B5118
€745.00
VAT included
Native to Europe and Western Asia, Carpinus betulus, commonly known as the European Hornbeam, is widely used in bonsai for its hard wood, harmonious growth, and attractive foliage. The leaves are oval, serrated, and dark green, turning yellow to brown in autumn. It has moderate to fast growth and is well suited to formal and informal upright bonsai styles.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. In hot climates, it should be protected from strong afternoon sun.
Watering: Requires regular watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. It does not tolerate prolonged drought.
Humidity: Adapts well to average humidity and benefits from occasional misting in dry environments.
Pruning: Structural pruning should be carried out in late winter or early spring. During the growing season, pinch back new shoots to control vigour and maintain a compact form.
Fertilization: Fertilise regularly in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce or stop feeding in late summer.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in spring, using a well-draining substrate such as akadama and pumice.
Flowering and Fruiting: Produces inconspicuous catkins in spring and small nut-like fruits enclosed in leafy bracts. Its main ornamental value in bonsai lies in its foliage and elegant trunk.
