Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This 10'-15' tightly branched plant makes a great focal point. The foliage is light green in summer followed by yellow fall color. Makes an interesting plant even when there aren't any leaves.

Very compact (to only 8't x 2'w), this unique Hornbeam will make a lovely little hedge or accent in a small garden where its small leaves will turn a handsome gold in fall. S/M

Forms a dwarf, dense, upright conical tree. It is useful as a walkway or border focal point or as an edging feature. A diminutive hedge could be another landscape option, with the larger-than-usual buds adding to its winter interest. How about a replacement for boxwoods?

We are excited to offer this truly dwarf cultivar of Fastigiate Hornbeam, reaching a height of 6-8'. Useful as a unique dwarf hedge that requires little pruning. Lovely golden yellow fall color. Grafted on C. betulus root stock. Shipping 3 gallon pots: a shipping sucharge will be added because of the increased weight.
