Hornbeam is very adaptable to soil types. It is also tolerant of high ground water and short periods of flooding. However, its roots won’t cope with waterlogged ground.
Hornbeam trees are shade tolerant and withstand heat and summer droughts if the soil is moist enough.
35-40cm per year. Hornbeam tends to be slow growing when young but speed up later.
Hornbeam is not demanding and will tolerate all pH soils. It is however sensitive to salt air.
Hornbeam has an intense and dense cordate root system, with a high proportion of fibrous roots in the topsoil layer. The roots are sensitive to compaction and floods.
Hornbeam is undemanding and can be used in almost any location. Their tolerance of hard cutting means they can be used in small gardens.
The exceptional Hornbeam can be pruned to almost any shape, or simply left to grow naturally. Cutting or trimming can be carried out any time of the year.
When grown as a stand alone specimen tree, the hornbeam will form a broad, rounded crown with a height of up to 25 metres tall and a spread of up to 15 metres wide.
