Hornbeam

A tough, reliable native tree, hornbeam is prized for its dense, twiggy growth and attractive pleated foliage that turns golden-yellow in autumn and often persists through winter, making it a superb choice for hedging as well as specimen planting. Hardy and adaptable to most soils and situations, from columnar forms perfect for smaller gardens to classic hedging varieties, there's a hornbeam to suit almost any garden need.
