Carpinus bet. ‘Fastigiata’ – Hornbeam, Columnar Hornbeam High trunk in wire root ball
Carpinus betulus ‘Fastigiata’ is a striking, narrow-form hornbeam with a dense, upright habit that fits tight spaces, avenues, and architectural landscapes. Its glossy green leaves provide year‑round structure, turning warm autumn tones before the leaves fall, and it tolerates cold, heat, and urban conditions. A low‑maintenance, versatile choice for a natural privacy screen or formal narrow hedge, reaching up to about 7–8 m tall and 1.5–2 m wide as it matures.
