Product Description

30 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.

    Hornbeams

    Posted by Jenny Smith on 7th Jul 2020

    Received 30 Hornbeam plants in two boxes.They arrived much quicker than anticipated, Both in fantastic condition, packed in straw and were wonderfully moist. They are strong and well rooted. It was very windy when I planted them but used canes for support and they are looking really good. Would definitely use Beechwood again.
