Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata'
Pyramidal Hornbeam
Conical and notably regular in outline, this hornbeam reaches 15–20 m while staying only 4–5 m across. Light green ovoid leaves clothe the dense branch system from the base upward and turn yellow in autumn, making it a reliable choice for avenues and narrow planting spaces.

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.
