American Hornbeam - DetailsAmerican Hornbeam - Sale Price: $34.95
‘Caroliniana’ is a healthier eastern-states cousin from the birch family, lacking the insect and disease problems that plague the species at large. Here is a pleasing small-to-medium tree with fresh green summer foliage and a show of yellow to either orange or fire-engine red come fall. When mature, the shape can range from rounded to a broader, elliptical form. Its biggest benefit is its surprising shade tolerance — it will thrive, even under the canopy of other trees — but will be happiest in partial shade. ‘Caroliniana’ likes wet feet (though it can tolerate a semi-dry spot) and is partial to a slightly acid-to-neutral soil pH. If you live near a wooded area, you can count on attracting a variety of desirable game birds (wild turkey, pheasant, ruffled grouse), which will seek out the seeds and buds. Perfect as a windbreak because of its supreme resistance to splitting, and just grand-looking when planted as a grove. Zones 4-8.

The berries remain through the winter and are a welcome treat for your wildlife. Your Winter King Hawthorn can reach a height of 30 feet with an equal spread. The 2 inch glossy green leaves with serrated edges do a terrific job of filling out the canopy, aiding in the dense growth pattern of your tree. You’ll love the clusters of ¾ inch white flowers that appear, their gentle fragrance a welcome addition to your spring yard. The Winter King Hawthorn is a hardy tree that is relatively small in stature but will still provide you with year-round interest. However, the time it truly shines is in the winter. A Hawthorn in your yard during the winter months has the effect of a silvery-grey tree decorated with dangling red berries. It truly is a “winter king” among trees in the usually barren cold landscape, and a must-have for your yard this year. * Outstanding winter interest * Year-round interest * Great for wildlife * Hardy
