Carpinus betulus, commonly known as Hornbeam, is a classic and dependable hedging tree, supplied here as a collection of 6 XL established plants approximately 2–3ft tall in individual 3 litre pots. With its dense growing habit, attractive foliage and excellent tolerance of regular trimming, Hornbeam is ideal for creating traditional garden boundaries, privacy screening, and structured hedging.
Hornbeam produces fresh green foliage throughout spring and summer before developing attractive yellow and golden-brown autumn colour. When regularly trimmed as a hedge, it can retain some of its dried foliage into winter, helping to provide additional seasonal screening and structure before fresh new leaves emerge in spring.
Supplied as established potted trees, these XL Hornbeam plants offer an excellent head start compared with smaller starter hedging. Hornbeam is particularly valued for its hardy, resilient nature and is well suited to a wide range of garden conditions, making it an excellent choice for creating a strong, long-lasting hedge.
