Common hornbeam Niwaki (Carpinus betulus)

If you are looking for a real soul for your garden, the common hornbeam Niwaki form is the pinnacle of garden art. This is not just a tree, it is a masterpiece, cherished for decades, patiently crafted, bringing oriental peace to the garden combined with the solidity of the European hornbeam. Every branch and every cloud of leaves is arranged in such a way as to create balance and attract the eye in any season.

Unlike conventional plants, the Niwaki shape gives the garden a sense of a mature landscape from the day it is planted. The boxwood is excellent for this purpose, its delicate, robot foliage shines in fresh green tones in summer, turns rusty golden in autumn, and in winter reveals its impressive, muscular trunk and graphic branch architecture. This tree is created to be the main character of the garden – at the entrance to the house, in the central bed or on the relaxation terrace. By choosing the Niwaki shape, you get an exclusive design element that will only become more valuable and expressive with each passing year, becoming an integral and recognizable sign of your garden.
