Outdoor Garden | Carpinus Betulus ‘Columnaris Nana’ #6

Description

Carpinus Betulus ‘Columnaris Nana’ is a dwarf variety of European Hornbeam.  The slow growing with a narrow form makes it an excellent street tree as pruning is not necessary, though it does take a hard pruning if a hedge is desired. In fall characteristic green leaves give way to an outstanding display of yellow, orange foliage.
