Carpinus betulus Hedge Plants
Key features
Description
Common Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) has deeply ribbed, mid-green, ovate foliage that turns yellow in the autumn. Green catkins appear from late spring, followed by clusters of winged fruit. When clipped correctly, Hornbeam hedges still hold their attractive copper brown leaves when others have fallen, making it ideal for screening purposes. This native hedging is appealing to a great deal of wildlife, most prominently the Hawfinch and several species of moth.
Hornbeam takes well to being trained, is reliably tough and will happily grow in a shaded or damp position. Hornbeam hedging is very similar to Beech - the main differences are that the leaves have deeper veins and the planting conditions can be slightly damper.
