Upright Hornbeam (Carpinus)
£175.00 - £659.00*
A slender tree in its youth it can become quite rotund at maturity but can't we all! Its stiffly ascending branches give the tree a very dense look and like all hornbeam it is particularly suited to heavier soils. The green leaves turn a lovely yellow in autumn before falling. It is a very good tree for both screening and defining an architectural shape to a garden.
Species available: Carpinus betulus Fastigiata, Carpinus betulus Frans Fontaine.
