Carpinus betulus 'Rockhampton Red' Tree
Carpinus betulus 'Rockhampton Red' is arguably the best Hornbeam for autumn colour. The green, deeply ribbed foliage turns stunning shades of red and orange in the autumn, whereas most Hornbeams turn yellow. Although deciduous, some leaves often remain on the tree through winter. Further interest is provided by green catkins in late spring and clusters of winged fruit later in the year.
This tough Hornbeam tree is tolerant of most soil types including chalk and can cope admirably in exposed locations. Carpinus betulus 'Rockhampton Red' has won several awards since its discovery on a nursery in Gloucestershire.
