Description
Carpinus betulus ‘Fastigiata’ is a classic, columnar deciduous tree prized for its dense, formal shape, strong vertical lines, and attractive foliage. This popular cultivar is one of the earliest and most common hornbeam selections, forming a narrow, columnar crown when young that matures into a broader, oval to pyramidal or vase-shaped form with age. It features smooth, gray, fluted bark and dense, ovate, dark green leaves with sharply serrated margins. In autumn, the foliage turns a clean, attractive yellow to orange-yellow. Adaptable, tough, and tolerant of pruning, it is an outstanding choice for a street tree, avenue planting, privacy screen, or as a focal point in large landscapes and formal gardens.
