A dense, fast-growing, native deciduous, boasting dramatic architectural foliage, tolerant of boggy, exposed sites and shade.

Description
A true ‘country house classic’, the Hornbeam offers a great solution to those seeking an attractive formal hedge in more demanding situations.

Placement
Hornbeam excels in moist, heavy soils but will grow in virtually any, provided its roots aren’t waterlogged. Suitable for exposed inland and coastal sites, although frost pockets are to be
avoided. It performs equally well in full sun or shade.
