Hornbeam Hedging 13-14ft (390-420cm) Rootballed
Pre-order information
This is a seasonal product that can only be dug from our production fields when the tree/plant has gone dormant and the temperatures are correct. We are expecting this item to be available from mid October 2025.
For instant, impressive screening, these large Carpinus betulus hedging trees deliver immediate privacy and impact. Each mature tree stands 13-14ft tall from the top of the root ball and has been regularly trimmed to create dense, thick hedging.

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.
