Hornbeam instant hedges

Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is a tough and versatile deciduous tree, ideal for hedging due to its dense foliage and seasonal interest. With serrated leaves that emerge in fresh green and turn golden in autumn, hornbeam also holds onto many leaves in winter, offering privacy even in colder months. This hardy plant thrives in various soils, including clay, and tolerates damp conditions and frost, making it suitable for UK gardens. Low-maintenance and attractive to wildlife, hornbeam is perfect for creating natural, enduring garden boundaries with year-round appeal.
