Carpinus Betulus - Hornbeam
Carpinus Betulus - Hornbeam
Hornbeam is a very traditional form of hedging and is native to the UK.
The first green leaves of the year are synonymous with the arrival of spring and the leaves will remain green until the autumn when they will turn a golden-copper brown colour.
Hornbeam, unlike many of its deciduous competitors, will retain its dead leaves on the hedge for most of the winter and they will only be pushed off by new growth the following spring. This helps a hornbeam hedge to give an added level of visual privacy all year round.
A popular specimen for pleaching, these trees can be planted singularly or in avenues.
Hornbeam are tolerant of wet and heavy soils as well as frosts.
