Carpinus betulus (Hornbeam) is excellent as a specimen tree and commonly used for hedging. Suitable with any reasonable well drained soil in sun or moderate shade.
Hornbeam retains brown foliage in winter, especially if pruned in late summer. This makes it an excellent windbreak and screen. So much so that it used to be used in mazes.
Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) hedges are a wildlife haven. The fruit provide autumn food for wildlife. Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) hedges provide food for moth caterpillars including the Small White Wave, Pale November , Nut Tree Tussock, and Copper Underwing. Hawfinches eat the seed in autumn and winter. Hares, rabbits and field mice love the leaf shoots and foliage. Each tree supports around 28 species of wildlife.
A very attractive deciduous plant with attractive autumn colouring.
