American Hornbeam Bonsai Tree
(carpinus caroliniana)

Leaves emerge reddish-purple, changing to a dark green before becoming a yellow to red-orange color offering a kaleidoscope of color throughout the year. Winter brings out the tree's fluted blue gray bark with long, sinewy ridges making it a very special bonsai piece.
