Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm

Product Code:  CABE12

From Only: £22.06 Ex VAT
Or £1.84 Per Plant


Our RHS Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that cell grown plants can become more quickly established than bare root. Another advantage of cell grown Hornbeam is that it can be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. As long as the roots are kept moist, cell grown plants can be planted throughout the year.
