• Grows to large specimen tree

• Size after 10 years : 6m x 4m

 

Description
This tree was discovered by chance at the Mount Pleasant Tree Nursery in Rockhampton by Geoff Locke over 20 years ago.  From late September the leaves transform from green to bright red and orange, lasting until mid-late November when the leaves turn to nut brown, with many of them remaining on the tree until the following spring.  With the same growth characteristics as the common Hornbeam, it is a hardy native tree.

 

Planting Position
This tree is a highly robust solution for any garden.  It will grow well in a wide range of soil types including those that are poor and waterlogged. With its strong branches, it will tolerate exposed and windy conditions and has a naturally strong root system. Prefers to be planted in full sun or partial shade.

 

Attributes
A fantastic plant that carries all the same Containerentials as the native Hornbeam, such as hedging, pleaching, topiary or as a specimen tree.  This is a highly versatile option for any garden as it's one of the few medium-sized trees that will produce spectacular colour in alkaline soils.

      Lovely tall tree

      I needed a tree that will take some of the water out of my poorly draining new build garden. This tree is huge about 8 foot tall and looks great. Looking forward to red leaves in winter!
