Carpinus betulus

A semi-evergreen species, Hornbeam hedging holds its leaves through the winter months - which turn into rich autumnal shades - and boasts lovely green catkins in late spring through to autumn, turning into fruits that are loved by wildlife. It's noted for its similarities to Beech hedging, except the leaves of the Hornbeam have serrated edges and deeper veins.

Hornbeam is highly resilient, and can tolerate poorer growing conditions such as shade, high winds and clay or wet soils. It grows around 20-40cm per year and is easily maintained at between 1-5m.

Hornbeam hedging works equally well as a single-species hedge or when combined with other native hedging. For smaller outdoor spaces or those that need extra privacy, Hornbeam hedging is also available as a space-saving instant hedging screen.

Hedges Direct has Hornbeam hedging available in all root types and can be purchased as cell-grown, pot-grown, bare-roots, root-balls or instant hedging.
