Common Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is a particularly fast-growing tree, especially when young. This tree has a very attractive triangular type shape, however, this tree is perhaps more commonly used in hedging. The leaves of hornhbeam are colourful and shiny green. It is in autumn that a real attraction awaits, as they change to a beautiful rich yellowy-orange colour. Frequently, these leaves are retained throughout winter before shedding in spring.
A medium height tree, so therefore expect a height of up to 6 metres (20 foot) after 10 years.
Our Common Hornbeam trees are supplied at a height of 1.5 and 1.7 metres in a 12 litre container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.
Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
Ornamental Tree Topping
All ornamental trees (not vines) are topped at 1.3 metres to encourage a natural ornamental tree shape with obvious exceptions e.g. patio sizes.This means that your tree was pruned during the growing process and then allowed to grow to the size it is now supplied at.
