Yamadori Bonsai Second Styling - Cutting Back and Rewiring Hornbeam

Second styling of yamadori Carpinus orientalis bonsai collected in 2024. Learn how to cut back first flush growth, rewire for better branch direction, and refine yamadori development 18 months after collection from the wild.

In this tutorial, I demonstrate essential second styling techniques on a wild-collected Oriental hornbeam, focusing on growth management and wiring strategies with bonus wound care insights.

What you'll learn:
Cutting back first flush growth for ramification
Checking and removing initial wires
Rewiring techniques for improved branch direction
18-month yamadori development progression
Managing large wounds on collected material
Callus scratching and reopening for better healing
Proper cut paste application methods

This approach works excellently for hornbeam bonsai and other deciduous yamadori, ensuring healthy development and naturalistic styling from wild-collected material.
