Description: Carpinus caroliniana - American Hornbeam - 1 gallon pruned to 18 inches tall Mature Height: 35 feet Aspect: half shade to full sun Hardiness Zone: USDA 3 The American Hornbeam is one of the easiest hardwood trees to grow and thrives in a wider range of conditions than most other Hornbeam species. Unlike other Hornbeams, the American species is tolerant of wet and clay soils and will also thrive in much more shade (although the growth is fastest in full sun). It is an excellent choice for a hedge due to its dense branching habit and low maintenance. In shady conditions the trees will grow with a single upright trunk but when grown in full sun sites they usually produce multiple stems, similar in habit to American Witch Hazel. It is also an important host species for many native butterflies across the eastern U.S. and is a good addition to wildlife gardens. Like other Hornbeams, Carpinus caroliniana is popular for bonsai due to its small leaves, thick trunk, and dense branching. The roots are also tolerant of poor drainage which makes this an easy plant for growing in containers or bonsai trays long-term.
