Carpinus betulus - Hornbeam is an excellent versatile species which can either be used for forestry purposes or for hedging. If grown for hedging the leaves will stay on throughout most of the winter.
Hornbeam has attractive green ribbed leaves which are smaller than beech with a fine toothed edge. Superb yellow/orange foliage colour in the autumn, and if left to grow as a large tree the fluted grey bark provides an interesting contrast.
If you are comparing Beech or Hornbeam for hedging and you have damp soil, or if you are in a cold exposed area then we would suggest using Hornbeam.
