About European, Hornbeam Seed
Formal hedges, pleached screens and garden rooms are where European Hornbeam excels, because it takes shearing exceptionally well. This refined, dependable tree, Carpinus betulus, is known for its dense, finely ribbed leaves and smooth, fluted gray bark. Left to grow, it develops into a handsome oval shade tree with yellow fall color, and young hedges often hold their dry leaves through winter for added privacy. It is adaptable, long-lived and rarely troubled by pests.
