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.

Guía de cuidados

Plant in sun to partial shade in virtually any soil type, including wet clay. Hornbeam is very tolerant and adaptable. Water young trees regularly in the first season. Feeding is unnecessary on most soils.

Consejos de poda

As a hedge, clip in August for best results — the tree will then retain its brown leaves. Free-standing trees need little pruning. Remove crossing or dead branches in winter.
