Product Code:  CABE4
Available from September 2012

From Only: £11.15 Ex VAT

Our RHS Hornbeam is a hardy native hedge-- similar in appearance to Green Beech with mid-green leaves. It produces green catkins from late spring to autumn-- turning to clusters of winged fruit.

The hornbeam hedge 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.
