Ostrya japonica, the Japanese Hop-hornbeam, is a graceful deciduous tree reaching up to 25 meters. It features a rounded crown with finely serrated leaves that turn a soft yellow in autumn. Notable for its distinctive hop-like seed catkins that dangle from branches, it offers unique ornamental interest. This slow-growing species thrives in well-drained soils and adapts to full sun or partial shade, making it an excellent, low-maintenance specimen for large lawns or woodland gardens.
