Root Ball Hornbeam
(Carpinus Betulus)

Hornbeam is a well-known, classic hedge. Their flourishing green leaves act as a dense barrier which can bring privacy, security, noise, and wind protection to your space.

Root Ball Hornbeam plants are only available to buy and plants throughout November - March, but can be pre-ordered at any time outside of the bare root season.

As Hornbeam is a semi-evergreen species, it will cling onto its rich copper-coloured leaves throughout Winter. During Spring, it will even showcase pretty, little, green catkins that turn to fruits in Autumn (which wildlife animals love to enjoy!).

Carpinus betulus is a resilient, durable species, hence the given name 'Hornbeam'- which is an old, original, English saying for 'hard tree.'

You can easily mix Hornbeam with other types of native hedging species to create a fantastic array of year-round colour.

As it is highly resilient, Hornbeam tolerates a lot of poor conditions such as shade, high winds, and clay/wet soils. Though the plant is best maintained between 1/5m, it can reach up to 12m high!
  • Growth rate: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
  • Soil type: Normal
  • Exposure: Coastal, exposed, inland
  • Aspect: Semi-shade, full sun
  • Evergreen foliage? No

When you receive your Hornbeam Root Ball plant, it will need to be planted within a couple of weeks or so and must be well-watered during this time. Do not allow the soil to dry out- this will more than likely damage the roots altogether.

You can keep your Hornbeam hedging looking as neat and in shape as you want- simply trim once a year at the end of Summer and your plant will retain its Winter shades, as well as looking stunningly tidy!

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.

  • Bare Root Discount Deals
    Bare Root Discount Deals

    Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
