Carpinus betulus 'Frans Fontaine' Tree
Columnar when young, Carpinus betulus 'Frans Fontaine' forms a neat, pyramidal shape as it matures. This slender Hornbeam is ideal for both gardens and avenue planting, with its form giving presence without a large footprint. Over 20 years it can reach 6 metres in height and just 2 metres in width.
Deeply ribbed green foliage turns buttery yellow in autumn. Despite being deciduous, the leaves can remain on the tree throughout winter. Carpinus betulus 'Frans Fontaine' is a tough tree, tolerating clay, chalky or damp soil. A great choice of compact Hornbeam for the garden.
