European Hornbeam – 5 Gallon Container
Tough, Elegant Shade Tree with a Formal Look

The European Hornbeam is a durable, dense, and highly adaptable shade tree with a naturally upright, oval shape that makes it perfect for streetscapes, formal landscapes, or privacy screens. Known for its deep green summer foliage, golden fall color, and smooth gray bark, this tree offers year-round structure and beauty.

Hornbeams are excellent for pruning and shaping—making them a favorite for hedges, allees, or tightly spaced plantings. They tolerate urban pollution, compacted soils, and drought once established, making them one of the most versatile trees for both residential and commercial use.
