An Established Korean Hornbeam in a Collectible Nick Lenz Pot
This is the exact tree shown in the photos.
I recently acquired this Korean Hornbeam from a local grower, artist, and collector. It is a substantial tree with a wide canopy, an aged trunk, and plenty of established branching.
The trunk is the first thing I notice. It has good size, movement, textured bark, and old pruning marks that give the tree a lot of character. The broad canopy is filled with healthy green foliage, and there is plenty of branch structure underneath for future refinement.
The tree is currently planted in a highly collectible Nick Lenz ceramic bonsai pot. To be completely honest, I would have preferred to separate the tree from this pot, but this is not the season to disturb the roots. I am offering them together and hoping the tree and pot find a great home.
This is an unusual opportunity for someone who appreciates both established Korean Hornbeam bonsai and collectible American bonsai pottery.

Korean Hornbeam is deciduous. Its leaves will change color and drop in the fall, and the tree will remain bare during winter dormancy before producing fresh growth in spring.
Shipping Note
This tree ships from Massachusetts. It will be watered, secured, and packed carefully for shipment. Minor movement of the foliage, moss, or soil may occur during transit.
Care Note
Korean Hornbeam bonsai must be grown outdoors. Give the tree bright light, good airflow, and some protection from intense afternoon sun during the hottest part of summer. Water thoroughly whenever the soil begins approaching dryness, and do not allow the root system to dry out completely.
Korean Hornbeam requires a cold winter dormancy. Protect the pot and root system during severe winter weather, especially from drying winds and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
