Planting & Care

A semi-evergreen UK native, offering vibrant autumn colour, spring catkins, and a feast of fruit for birds from autumn through winter.
Low-maintenance and tough, thriving in challenging conditions like shade, strong winds, clay, or wet soil.
Fully hardy and slow-growing, it can reach 8m but is easily maintained at a height of 1-5m.
Ideal as a dense, single-species hedge or mixed with other native plants for a rich tapestry.
Honoured with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Species: Hornbeam
Features: Native to UK
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: Bushy, upright hedge
Hardiness: Fully hardy (H7: frost resistant down to -20°C)
Soil Type: Any well-drained, fertile soil. Tolerates clay and wet soil.
Growth Rate: Average, around 20-40cm per year
Eventual Height: Up to 8m, easily maintained at 1-5m

Planting Time: Plant from October to March.
Planting Advice: Our bare root plants are lifted fresh from the field. In winter, they can be stored for several weeks if kept cool and dark. In spring, plant within a few days of arrival. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit to improve drainage.
Pruning: Clip once a year in late summer. This is important to help the plant retain its winter colour.
Pest & Disease: Good resistance, but may occasionally be affected by caterpillars, aphids or coral spot.
