Here are starting my Carpinus orientalis. This is my favorite family, because of its natural small leaves.

 

Number 1 and 2 is the same tree in the winter and early spring. It's about 20 years highly tortured from the goats. I haven't cut its branches already 4 years, but it refused to grow more then 1-2 centimeters per season.

3 is planted from me in a peace of root embraced a stone. Its age is 7 years.

4 and 5 is the same tree pictured 3 winters ago and last summer. It's on the same age as 3. I planted it from seed.

6 and 7 is the same tree in the winter and very early spring. Its age is over 25 years and it's one of my very favorite.
