There are basically three main types of Hornbeams (Carpinus) used for Bonsai. The are:
Carpinus betulus – European Hornbeam
Carpinus caroliniana – American Hornbeam
Carpinus turczaninowii – Korean Hornbeam
All three make wonderful Bonsai trees. Some American Hornbeams turn brilliant red in the fall. Korean Hornbeams are easiest to find as pre-Bonsai or Bonsai trees in the USA.
