A Hornbeam hedge is a type of hedge created using the hornbeam tree (carpinus betulus). The hornbeam is a deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of Asia. When grown as a hedge, the Hornbeam tree is regularly pruned and shaped to create a dense and uniform barrier of foliage. Hornbeam hedges are popular for their attractive, densely packed leaves, which turn a rich green in spring and summer and often change to a golden or coppery brown in the fall.
These hedges are valued for their ability to provide privacy, act as windbreaks, and offer an aesthetically pleasing boundary for gardens, properties, or landscapes. They are also known for their durability and resilience, making them an excellent choice for formal or informal hedging. Hornbeam hedges are typically maintained through regular pruning to maintain their desired shape and density.

Yes, you can plant a hornbeam hedge in winter. Hornbeam is a hardy tree that can tolerate cold weather. Some people believe that planting hornbeam in winter is better than planting them in spring. This is because the soil is cooler in winter, which can help the roots to establish themselves more quickly.
However, it is important to choose a mild winter day to plant your hornbeam hedge. If the ground is frozen, it will be difficult for the roots to penetrate. You should also avoid planting your hedge in windy conditions.
With proper care and garden maintenance, your hornbeam hedge will thrive even if it is planted in winter.
There are many benefits to installing a hedge:
Tolerant of most soil types. Moderately dry to moist and will cope with short periods of flooding.
Cool to warm locations, tolerates heat if the soil is moist.
Fast 40-50cm growth rate per annum.
Hornbeam will tolerate slightly acid through to slightly alkaline soil pH.
Very adaptable to different soil conditions. Hornbeam has a deep cordate root system with a high proportion of fibrous roots in the topsoil layer.
Due to its ability to regrow from pruning/trimming, hornbeam hedges can be shaped easily and even made into topiary shapes.
Always make a final trim of hornbeam instant hedge in September which will help leaf retention during the winter, just like copper beech.
Hornbeam hedges are horse friendly and can therefore be used in paddocks for the containment of livestock.
