Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata'
Carpinus betulus ‘Fastigiata’ is an ornamental hornbeam with a narrow, columnar habit, ideal for structuring avenues, screens, or urban spaces where ground space is limited. Its vertical and slender silhouette lends an elegant architectural presence to flowerbeds, residential gardens, or formal alignments. Its rich green foliage provides a structured backdrop from spring to autumn, before transitioning to warm yellow hues at the end of the season, offering year-round visual dynamism. Very hardy and tolerant, this hornbeam prefers a sunny to partial shade exposure and fertile, moist, well-drained soil, where it thrives without particular demands, combining verticality, elegance, and ease of maintenance.
