Collection: Hornbeam

This tree has so many uses! It makes a stately medium size landscape tree with a lovely oval to rounded form; it can be pollarded; it can be grown as a hedge. It tolerates acidic soil, limey soil, full sun, full shade, dry soil, and moist soil. The steel grey bark remains attractive all winter. Additionally, dried leaves are held on branches through winter, adding yet another interesting textural element. Catkins on male plants are a delight to pollinators in early spring.
