Common Hornbeam Hedge Plants - Potted
These are young, potted Hornbeam plants for summer delivery: you can buy cheaper, bareroot plants for winter delivery here. We also sell large Hornbeam trees.
Description: A large native tree, the Common Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus, makes a great
hedge plant. These plants have been grown to be ideal for hedges, but can be used for any other purpose.
Grown as a tree, it can reach up to 20m.
Although unrelated to beech, hornbeam looks very similar when grown as a hedge.

Planting Hornbeam:
Hornbeam is a very useful tree for poor planting conditions. It thrives on very damp soil, is shade tolerant and hardy enough to grow in frost pockets and cold Northern regions.
Spacing: For a single row hedge, 3 per metre (33cms apart).
The glossy
green leaves turn yellow in autumn then brown in winter, when they are
held until spring if the plant is clipped as a hedge.
