Carpinus betulus (Hornbeam) Balls

Deciduous

Bio: Similar in appearance to Beech, hornbeam makes a superb specimen tree or hedging plant. Although it is deciduous, it retains its copper dead leaves throughout Winter so it remains an effective screen. Green catkins appear in Spring and winged nuts develop in Autumn. These are a fantastic alternative to the Evergreen Taxus or Buxus balls on offer.
