Popular at Chelsea: our cubed Carpinus betulus. Hornbeam is just at home in smaller gardens as it is as a Chelsea showstopper. It is an excellent choice for formal hedging, pleaching and - if you lack space for the larger tree - can be used as a trimmed tree. Similar in appearance to Beech, it holds its foliage longer in the winter and tolerates poor soils and exposed conditions much better.
