See: Carpinus betulus Common hornbeam.

The common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is a native tree reaching 15-20 m in height. The species or its columnar varieties is used in gardens and parks to create formed hedges, as it tolerates pruning well, and intensively cut plants give numerous shoots and allow to quickly achieve the effect of dense green rows. It can grow in shady places in which it feels equally comfortable. It prefers fertile, heavy, moderately moist, calcareous soils. It forms forest complexes called oak-hornbeam. It is one of the most important native deciduous species used to create hedges, rows, arches, mazes and all kinds of garden sculptures. Often produced in large pots in the form of green walls.
