Specification sheet
Hornbeam -
Carpinus betulus (latin)
Area of origin: Europe.
Adult Dimensions: Height up to 20 m (65.6'), width up to 15 m (49.2').
Foliage: Semi-evergreen.
Soil Type: Clayey and moist.

Characteristics and Uses: The foliage of the Hornbeam dries out in the autumn but remains on the branches nearly all winter. It is called “marcescent”. It is used planted alone in parks and gardens and also in mixed windbreak hedges or screening hedges, as a group. The Hornbeam lends itself to pruning. Bonsai connoisseurs often work with it. It is also particularly good in reforestation mixed with other species.
