The European hornbeam is a dense tree with a pyramidal form that matures into a broad, rounded shape. Its dark green, deeply veined leaves turn yellow to deep red in fall, often lingering through winter. The smooth, slate-gray bark adds year-round interest, especially in winter alongside its ornamental buds. In spring, the tree produces clusters of delicate catkins. European hornbeams are excellent in groupings around large buildings and are also useful as screens, hedges, and windbreaks. With its dense foliage and tolerance for pruning, it is a versatile and elegant addition to the landscape.
