Description: The Frans Fontaine Hornbeam is a distinguished cultivar known for its exceptionally narrow, columnar growth habit. This feature makes it an outstanding choice for creating formal screens, avenues, and architectural elements in spaces where horizontal spread must be controlled.
The feathered form of these specimens provides dense branching from near ground level, creating an elegant natural screen. The crisp green summer foliage is deeply pleated and turns to warm yellow-orange tones in autumn. Even after the leaves turn brown, they often persist through winter, offering year-round interest and screening.
As bare root specimens, these trees offer excellent value and are established quickly when planted during the dormant season. The feathered form is particularly effective for creating immediate screening and privacy.
Ideal Applications:
Planting & Care Guide: Plant bare root specimens between October and March while dormant. Prepare a hole twice the width of the root system and incorporate organic matter.
