Common hornbeam for hedges (Carpinus betulus)

If you enjoy watching your garden grow and want to create a great hedge at an affordable price, individual hornbeam plants are the best choice. Hornbeam is one of the most grateful plants for forming fences – it is modest, extremely durable and over time creates such a dense weave of branches that neither wind nor prying eyes can get through it.

Why choose common hornbeam seedlings?

• Economical solution: By planting individual plants, you can create long rows of hedges at a significantly lower cost.

• Custom shape: You have full control over the height and width of your hedge from the first years of growth. The hedge "loves" shears, the more you cut it, the thicker it becomes.

• Natural variation: In summer you will be delighted by lush green, ribbed foliage, but in autumn the leaves turn gray. A large part of the leaves remain on the branches even in winter, providing cover until spring bloom.

• Hardiness: The scaly nettle is a " hedge workhorse ", it grows well in both sun and partial shade and is not afraid of Latvia's harsh winters or strong winds.

  
  

To get a dense result, we usually recommend planting 3 per linear meter.

Height: 12-15 meters

Width: 4-6 meters

Hardiness zone: 5a (-26.1°C to -28.8°C)
