Carpinus betulus Fastigiata Ball | Common Hornbeam - 450cm, 130lt
£695.00
Unit price perEstimated delivery between July 10 and July 12.
Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata', trained as a standard ball, is an elegant and versatile ornamental tree that brings structure and year-round interest to gardens of all sizes. Grown into a clear stem and clipped into a neat, rounded crown, it creates a formal appearance that works beautifully in contemporary, traditional, and cottage-style landscapes.
This hardy hornbeam thrives in a wide range of soil types, including clay, loam, and chalk, provided the ground is reasonably well drained. It is well suited to the UK climate and tolerates exposed positions, urban pollution, and seasonal weather fluctuations. The dense foliage emerges fresh green in spring, deepens through summer, and turns rich shades of golden yellow before falling in autumn. In some sheltered locations, dried leaves may remain on the branches through winter, adding seasonal texture.
The compact canopy makes it ideal for lining driveways, framing entrances, creating symmetry in formal gardens, or adding height without occupying excessive ground space. Minimal pruning is required to maintain its rounded shape, making it a relatively low-maintenance choice.
Combining durability, architectural form, and attractive seasonal colour, a standard ball hornbeam is an excellent feature tree that provides lasting beauty and structure throughout the year.
