Why it rocks:

Pyramidal European Hornbeam's distinctive symmetrical and formal appearance sets itself apart from other shade trees. In spring, this tree displays bright green serrated leaves that mature into a dark green hue. The small leaves add a rich texture to its oval canopy. Slender catkins and nutlets attract wildlife, enhancing the charm and enchantment of the landscape. Its smooth gray trunk complements its forest green leaves and showcases its glorious fall color. In autumn, the canopy transforms into a burst of vibrant sunny yellow. Pyramidal European Hornbeam is resistant to diseases and pests. Transform your landscape with this exquisite tree— capable of being both a stunning visual centerpiece and a practical addition! Its elegant presence will elevate any outdoor space.

Where to put it:

Pyramidal European Hornbeam is often used as a living wall in outdoor spaces, creating a relaxing natural oasis while serving as both a visual screen and a noise barrier. This tree is ideal for adding screening along property lines. Although the trees mature to a width of 25 feet, they can be spaced closer together to achieve your desired level of screening. As they grow, their branches will intertwine to form a dense hedge. This tree features small, textured leaves and a compact branch structure that will provide effective screening throughout all seasons. Its attractive, classic shape can be incorporated into various landscapes, making it a striking vertical design element in small yards and gardens. Additionally, Pyramidal European Hornbeam performs well in urban areas, withstanding challenging conditions. Its elegant, formal appearance makes it a superior choice for city parkways, boulevards, alleés, wide medians, in memorial gardens and parks.

What it needs:

Pyramidal European Hornbeam will grow happily in full sun and moist well-drained soil. However, it is highly tolerant of shade. This tree is heat and drought-resistant, adaptable to wet soils, and can withstand urban air pollution. It can be manicured, as needed, as it grows and matures. To promote a strong & healthy root system, please follow our tree care guidelines during the initial growing seasons.
