Carpinus Betulus - B5153
€345.00
VAT included
Carpinus betulus, native to Europe and western Asia, is highly valued in bonsai for its delicate foliage, smooth grey bark, and ease of training. Its small, ovate, sharply serrated leaves turn golden in autumn. It is a relatively fast-growing, vigorous species with great ornamental value, suitable for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, it benefits from some protection from intense summer sun.
Watering: Requires regular watering, keeping the soil slightly moist. It tolerates short dry periods better than beech (Fagus sylvatica), but should not dry out excessively.
Humidity: Prefers moderate air humidity and benefits from good air circulation.
Pruning: Structural pruning should be done in winter during dormancy. Regular pinching during the growing season helps reduce leaf size and encourage fine branching.
Fertilization: Fertilise in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding in late summer and stop in autumn.
Repotting: Repot every 2 to 3 years in early spring before bud break. Use a well-draining substrate rich in organic matter.
Flowering and fruiting: Flowers are inconspicuous and insignificant in bonsai. Produces small winged fruits (samaras) with little ornamental value. Its main appeal lies in its fine foliage and elegant form.
