Item # Amhorn1pre

SOLD
  Closeup of the trunk base of this hornbeam.  Awesome!

Species note: Hornbeam always comes with good nebari.  It's just how they grow.  So here you have a species that naturally develops a beautiful sinewy trunk, and comes equipped with a nice root base, so it's really just a matter of creating branch structure and/or a tapering apex.
