European Hornbeam
Carpinus Betulus

Large mid-green leaves that go tan and copper coloured in autumn giving fiery autumnal hues that often hold on the plant well into winter. Very similar to green beech but deeper veined, serrated edged leaves. The beauty of hornbeam is that it grows well in poorer, wetter soils where beech would struggle to survive yet retains the beautiful characteristics of some of Britain’s most beautiful trees and hedges.

Position: Full sun to partial shade

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil but thrives better than being in wetter (not waterlogged) soils.

Rate of Growth: Fast

Flowering Period: N/A

Flower Colour: N/A

Other Features: Catkins late spring to autumn. A superb, underrated hedge

Hardiness: Fully hardy

Garden Care: Submerge pot in a bucket of water before planting. Water well during establishment. Add Osmocote type feed on planting and each spring. Trim to size.

Eventual Height:  10 to 25m or cut to size
Eventual Spread:  20m or cut to size
