The hugging tree :D Thanks for going to effort to find that information. What an interesting name...Hornbeam.

Hornbeam wood has been used since ancient times. It was primarily made into rigging timbers for assembling teams of oxen and other livestock to pull wagons or plows. Very widespread worldwide and found across most of the Northern Hemisphere. It also makes a great bonsai :D

You are a treasure trove of information! Thank you again!!!
