Hornbeam Instant Hedging Screens – Carpinus Betulus
Our Hornbeam Instant Hedging Screens provide an immediate solution for creating a natural, dense privacy screen in your garden. Featuring the resilient Carpinus betulus, these screens arrive with a training frame to ensure an established look from the start. The degree of fullness largely depends on the plant’s maturity at the time of purchase.
Features of Hornbeam
Carpinus betulus, commonly known as Hornbeam, is a deciduous species admired for its serrated, bright green leaves that transition to golden-yellow in the autumn. It retains some dried leaves throughout the winter, providing extra privacy even during the colder months. With strong, interlocking branches, Hornbeam creates a durable and visually appealing barrier for any garden.
Benefits for Nature
Hornbeam hedging supports local wildlife by offering nesting spots for birds and providing shelter for small creatures. Its fallen leaves break down quickly, enriching the soil and fostering a diverse ecosystem. Adding Hornbeam to your garden enhances natural biodiversity and promotes a healthy environment.
Landscaping and Design Appeal
Hornbeam Instant Hedging Screens are versatile, suitable for various landscaping needs, from formal garden boundaries to naturalistic divisions. The lush foliage serves as a stunning backdrop, perfect for framing pathways or acting as a windbreak. Hornbeam’s classic appeal fits both traditional and modern garden styles, creating a polished look immediately.
Preferred Conditions
Hornbeam thrives in well-drained soil and can adapt to different types, including clay and sandy soils. It grows well in full sun to partial shade and needs regular watering during the establishment period. Hornbeam is drought-tolerant once mature and responds well to pruning, making it easy to maintain.
Fun Fact
Historically, Hornbeam wood’s toughness made it ideal for tools, gears, and even piano parts due to its strength and durability.
Summary
Hornbeam Instant Hedging Screens provide a quick and effective way to create a dense, structured garden boundary with seasonal color. With its robust foliage, ecological benefits, and adaptable design, Carpinus betulus makes an excellent choice for any landscape.
Disclaimer
The appearance and fullness of Hornbeam Instant Hedging Screens may vary based on the season and maturity at the time of purchase. Regular pruning and watering are essential for maintaining the hedge’s structure and health.

Safe place required: Please specify a safe place for box, pallet or van deliveries in your order notes. If none is provided, drivers will leave your order where they deem reasonable.

Be available on the day of delivery: It is essential that you are contactable on your provided phone number in case the driver needs to reach you. If access is restricted, no safe place is available, or the driver is instructed not to leave the order, delivery will fail and additional delivery charges will apply or you may need to collect from the local depot.
