A different hedge every season
A Carpinus hedge that grows new, fresh, green leaves from spring onwards gives you a beautiful-looking, opaque hedge in summer that offers you plenty of privacy. In autumn, the leaves turn bright yellow and the decorative value of this hornbeam is high. In winter, however, when the hedge has shed its leaves, it shows its beautiful dense branches. The smooth, grey-brown branches that move together certainly have charm and convey a creative image. Your hedge will change its appearance with the seasons.
What hornbeam hedges are suitable for
This type of hedge often looks a little brute because it naturally has a slightly wilder appearance than a dense conifer hedge. It contributes to the preservation of a rural cultural landscape. Incidentally, it is surprisingly easy to shape the hornbeam into a formal form. That is why the hedge fits into many garden styles.
