Carpinus betulus
Carpinus betulus, commonly known as Hornbeam, is a versatile and hardy deciduous tree valued for its dense foliage and excellent structure. Its fresh green leaves emerge in spring, creating a lush canopy that provides effective screening and shade.
In autumn, the foliage turns warm shades of yellow before fading to coppery tones, often remaining on the branches through winter for added interest. Ideal for hedging, pleaching, or as a standalone tree, it tolerates a wide range of soils and conditions, making it a reliable choice for both formal and informal gardens.
