Carpinus betulus
Common Hornbeam
Hornbeam builds a rounded, somewhat irregular crown on a tree of 10–20 m with a spread of 7–12 m. The ovate green leaves turn yellow to orange before falling, and the dense twiggy growth takes clipping well, which is why it serves for tall hedges and screens.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
