Description

These Hornbeam Rockhampton Red Standard trees are a selected variety of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) that has a particularly striking red leaf colour in the autumn and will create a particularly beautiful feature tree in any location.

Hornbeam is a very traditional native tree to the UK.  The first green leaves of the year are synonymous with the arrival of spring and the leaves will remain green until the autumn when they will turn a golden-copper brown colour.  Hornbeam hedges, unlike many of their deciduous competitors, will retain their dead leaves on the hedge for most of the winter and they will only be pushed off by new growth the following spring.  This helps a hornbeam hedge to give an added level of visual privacy all year round.

Hornbeam Rockhampton Red Standard Trees can be planted as individual feature trees in gardens.

Hornbeam trees are well suited to heavier soils but if you are planting during the drier months of the year, it is important to water them properly during their first year after planting.  This is best done using leaky hose which is cheap, easy to install and highly effective.  See our Accessories page for more details.

More information on hornbeam screening can be found on the hornbeam hedging category page.
