Hornbeam Hedging
Carpinus are semi-evergreen trees with attractive foliage and hop-like fruit clusters in late summer and autumn.
Similar in appearance to Fagus sylvatica, Carpinus makes a superb specimen tree or hedging plant, although it is semi-evergreen, it retains its coppery dead leaves throughout the winter so it remains an effective screen. Leaves ovate, ribbed and finely serrate, turning yellow in autumn. Fruiting catkins conspicuous, to 8cm in length.
This type of hedging plant can act as a semi-evergreen hedge
