Product description

Buy Now: Add the Elegant Hornbeam Tree to Your Garden!
Product Overview:
Carpinus caroliniana, commonly called the American hornbeam, is a slow-growing, deciduous, small to medium-sized understory tree with an attractive globular form. Native to Missouri, it is typically found in rich moist woods, valleys, ravine bottoms, and rocky slopes along streams. This beautiful tree grows 20-35 feet tall and features a smooth, gray trunk and larger branches with distinctive muscle-like fluting, giving it the nickname 'muscle wood.' Flowers appear in spring in separate male and female catkins, which give way to clusters of winged nutlets. Its serrated, elliptic-oval, dark green leaves often produce respectable colorful shades.
