Carpinus betulus (Hornbeam)

Hornbeam is emerging as a more resilient option for Beech in the face of the changing UK climate. Known for its tolerance to different soil conditions and ability to withstand the more frequent wet and waterlogged conditions we are experiencing. The roots of Hornbeam run deep, allowing the plant to extract more ground water once established in the dryer hotter UK summers. With elegant appearance and excellent screening capabilities, Hornbeam is rising in popularity for landscape professionals and garden enthusiasts alike.
