European hornbeam, Carpinus betulus, a fat broom in the making. It will take another five to ten years before this looks good. It is perfectly fine if in the early state such a tree looks very ugly; as long as one does the right thing. Like cutting back further than one wants really.
Cornus mas, dogwood after only two years in training.
