Description

Available for Store Pickup or Local Delivery Only

Add refined structure and reliable seasonal interest to your garden with Frans Fontaine Hornbeam, a narrow selection valued for its dense foliage and elegant upright form. Small green catkins appear in spring as the fresh green leaves emerge, creating a soft seasonal display. Through summer, the tidy canopy provides rich texture before the foliage turns warm yellow tones in fall. Its slender profile makes it an excellent choice for lining driveways, creating vertical accents, or adding height and definition in spaces where width is limited.
