Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A superb selection of Hornbeam maple growing much slower than the species, eventually reaching six-feet in 10 years. Long, narrow strap-like leaves with heavily serrated edges. Green summer leaves turn a deep yellow in fall. Our young plants are 2-years old and multi-stemmed. Our specimen is 12 years old and tree-form. It is much too heavy to ship in a box and would need to be picked up here in the nursery. A selection made by the famed European nursery...Esveld.
