Carpinus betulus, the native Hornbeam, is one of the UK’s most reliable and versatile trees, valued for its dense foliage, strong structure, and excellent performance in challenging sites. With attractive serrated leaves, a tough branching framework, and warm autumn colour, Hornbeam is ideal for woodland creation, boundary lines, screening, avenues, and large gardens. Hardy, long-lived, and wildlife-friendly, it is a superb all-rounder for both ornamental and functional planting.
