Carpinus betulus

European Hornbeam

The European hornbeam is a versatile native tree that excels both as a free-standing specimen and in hedge form. The ribbed, serrated leaves turn golden-yellow in autumn and — like beech — remain on the hedge throughout winter. The tree has a characteristically muscular trunk pattern.
