The Japanese hornbeam is a slow-growing tree native to Central and Southern Japan. It typically grows about 1 to 2 feet per year in good conditions. Its dark green leaves are deeply quilted with finely toothed edges, creating a rich, textured look through the growing season. In spring, yellow-green catkins appear, followed by papery, hop-like fruit that persist into summer. Smooth gray bark provides year-round appeal, especially in winter. Well suited as an understory or specimen tree, the Japanese hornbeam adapts to sun and a wide range of soils, offering a low- maintenance option for gardeners seeking a distinctive tree.
