Our instant Hornbeam hedging is grown to provide immediate structure, privacy, and aesthetic appeal. A native favourite, Carpinus betulus offers dense foliage and a naturally upright, bushy habit that works beautifully in both urban and countryside settings.
In spring and summer, its foliage is a crisp, fresh green, developing warm tones of amber and gold in autumn. When clipped, Hornbeam tends to hold on to its dry leaves well into winter, offering valuable seasonal screening despite being deciduous. It’s particularly well-suited to exposed sites or heavy clay soils, where other species may struggle.
Hornbeam is ideal for those seeking a resilient, attractive, and wildlife-friendly hedge that can deliver structure and interest throughout the year.
