Carpinus betulus is a robust and versatile native tree, often used for hedging due to its dense foliage and excellent tolerance of clipping. The serrated, fresh green leaves turn golden-yellow in autumn and often remain on the tree through winter, providing year-round structure and screening. Its fluted grey trunk adds architectural interest. Ideal for formal gardens, avenues, or woodland planting.
Average mature height: 15–20 m | Canopy spread: 8–12 m
