Hornbeam is a medium-sized, slow-growing deciduous tree, characterized by brown leaves which remain attached until new green leaves appear in the spring. Its natural distribution range is from the Pyrenees in the west to Iran in east, with a northern limitation of southern Sweden.
The tree’s white wood is hard and difficult to process; hence, it is rarely used in construction. However, its timber is excellent for fuelwood due to its high calorific value.
In a woodland environment Hornbeam usually grows as an understory tree in mixed stands with oak species, in particular. The tree colonizes disturbed areas, contributing to improved soil fertility for neighbouring plants and rendering it useful in reforestation projects.
It is shade-tolerant and grows on many different soil types and makes an excellent hedging plant that retains its dead leaves throughout the winter.
