About European Hornbeam

The European hornbeam is a versatile deciduous tree known for its dense, pyramidal crown that matures into a stately rounded form. Its ovate, deeply veined green leaves turn a vibrant yellow-orange in autumn, often persisting through winter when maintained as a hedge. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it adapts well to various soil types, including heavy clay. Its exceptional tolerance for hard pruning makes it a premier choice for pleaching, formal screens, and urban street planting.
