Hornbeam
20 years online - still growing strong
Hornbeam hedging (Carpinus betulus) is a hardy, deciduous option perfect for creating dense, structured screens. With lush green foliage turning golden in autumn, it thrives in various soil types and withstands harsh conditions. Unlike beech, it tolerates wet soils, making it ideal for any garden. Regular pruning encourages bushy growth, providing effective windbreaks and privacy. Whether shaping formal boundaries or natural hedgerows, hornbeam offers year-round interest and resilience.
