Hornbeam (Carpinus Betulus) Instant Hedging Trough 100cm+
Quality-assured plants with fast UK delivery and expert support every step of the way
Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) 100cm+
Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is a classic choice for hedging, renowned for its resilience, beauty, and adaptability. This British native plant boasts green, serrated leaves that bear a striking resemblance to those of Green Beech but with a slightly duller tone. Hornbeam’s ability to retain some of its brown leaves over winter provides additional screening, making it a reliable hedge for year-round privacy. In spring, the hedge is rejuvenated with fresh, pale green leaves that add a burst of colour and life to the garden.
Hornbeam’s incredible versatility allows it to thrive in a wide range of soil types and conditions, from chalky soils to more acidic environments. This adaptability makes it a true general-purpose hedge that performs reliably year after year. As a native species, it also plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife by providing shelter and food. Regular trimming ensures that Hornbeam maintains a smooth, formal appearance, making it an ideal backdrop for more colourful garden features or as a standalone element in formal garden designs.
The Royal Horticultural Society awarded Carpinus betulus the Award of Garden Merit in 1984, recognising its value in garden and landscape design. The trough format is perfect for those looking to establish an instant, uniform hedge with ease, providing structure and beauty to both traditional and contemporary gardens.
