Hornbeam - framed
Carpinus betulus
Closely related to beech trees hornbeam is a bit more adaptable to soil situations. If kept trimmed hornbeam makes an excellent hedge which, although it drops more leaf than beech, is more than made up for in its extra twiggyness and by the fact that it is a much quicker grower and much more tolerant of a wider range of soils including heavy damp ones. Hornbeam leafs-up in spring more than a month earlier than Beech, and in autumn has vivid golden-yellow foliage colours.
This is offered as a trained form on a framework that makes an excellent narrow screen where width is an issue. Hornbeam is deciduous, but the retention of a percentage of the dead leaves in winter is often described as "everbrown", giving additional winter screening.
Available in framed form 200cm tall by 100cm width.
