Hornbeam is a reliable alternative to Beech hedging, particularly on heavier soils, and responds very well to regular trimming. It can be maintained as a formal clipped hedge or allowed to form a softer, more natural boundary.

For best results, plant approximately 45-60cm apart when forming a hedge and water regularly during the first growing season to support strong root establishment. Once established, Hornbeam is hardy, low maintenance and extremely long-lived.

Due to their size, delivery is quoted individually. Call us to arrange delivery or collect for free from our nursery.

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.
