Carpinus Betulus Rootballed Heavy Standard Headed Form 10-12cm Girth

These splendid trees are celebrated for lush green serrated leaves, forming an impenetrable screen that bestows privacy, security, and an effective shield against noise and wind upon your garden.

Carpinus Betulus also known as Hornbeam is a traditional tree that is under valued. It is a natural beauty, they are dense well branched conical crowns that as they mature the structure rounds. They are slow growing. In spring the foliage is a sudden burst of bright green, the leaf itself is serrated and tapers to a point. In autumn they change to a soft yellow before the golden brown we often see. The tree holds the brown coppery leaves for most of the winter. Giving an almost evergreen look, before the drop off. The greyish brown bark is a lovely smooth trunk. Making it ideal for turning into standard or pleached trees as well. Carpinus can reach between 15/25m. 

Carpinus is an excellent choice for inviting wildlife into the garden, they are an excellent source for moths and caterpillars, the green catkins develop into fruits that birds eat. 

Hornbeam are resilient trees that once established can tolerate poor soils, such as clay and chalk. In sun or partial shade.
