Carpinus: A Stately Addition to Any Garden.
Carpinus, or hornbeam as it’s commonly known, is a truly elegant tree with a stately presence that adds a touch of sophistication to the garden. With its finely serrated, deeply veined leaves and beautifully textured bark, Carpinus brings a refined beauty that lasts through each season. In spring, it unfurls fresh green foliage, which deepens to a lush green in summer before turning golden-yellow in autumn. Its neat, symmetrical form makes it a versatile choice for hedging, topiary, or as a standalone specimen, fitting seamlessly into both formal gardens and more relaxed landscapes.
