Hornbeam Hedging Up close

Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is a hardy, deciduous tree commonly used for hedging, valued for its dense, attractive foliage and adaptability. Its leaves unfurl in bright green during spring, transition to golden hues in autumn, and often remain on branches throughout winter, providing consistent privacy. Tolerant of a wide range of soils and able to withstand harsh weather, hornbeam is ideal for UK landscapes. With minimal maintenance, it creates structured, natural borders that support local wildlife, making it a popular, eco-friendly choice for gardens.
