After three growing seasons the crown is becoming more dense an better. We have started shaping crown from zero, only 3 trunks were there (see more photos is gallery – Carpinus orientalis #2), without single thin branch. We have collected this Carpinus orinetalis because of impressive nebari, although we thought that 3 main trunks are not in good harmony and that it will be complicated to make a credible crown. But as new branches started to grow, our perspective have changed, and we can clearly see potential now. Last photo is virtual of future look.
