Product Description

25 Hornbeam 2ft Hedging Plants, In 1L Pots Carpinus Betulus Trees, Winter Cover

 

Leaves are green in Summer and in the Autumn they turn dark brown.These leaves are retained by the plant until Spring when the new leaves grow resulting in a hedge that is never bare. The hedge can be trimmed into any shape or size and will tolerate most conditions including shade and exposed areas.

Similar in appearance to beech, hornbeam makes a superb specimen tree or hedging plant. Grown as a tree, it has a pyramidal shape that later becomes more rounded. As a formal hedge it requires clipping once a year in mid to late summer to keep it looking tidy. Although it is deciduous, it retains its coppery dead leaves throughout the winter so it remains an effective screen. Green catkins appear in spring and winged nuts develop in autumn.

    Excellent plants, healthy, nice shape and well looked after. Arrived superbly packed in straw so 100% biodegradable packaging (apart from plastic pots, but the neighbours are using them). Highly recommended hedging
