Description
Hornbeam Tree (Carpinus caroliniana)
Carpinus caroliniana, the Hornbeam Tree, is a deciduous landscaping tree native to the eastern United States. Gardeners love this tree, which grows in most USDA plant hardiness zones, for its compact shape, narrow trunk, and large, leafy crown.
The short-statured tree is a cousin to a larger tree, the American beech tree. Like the beech, the tree loves moist soil, full sun to filtered sun, and is resilient against drought.
Carpinus caroliniana is heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and pest-resistant. Plant it in an appropriate location in soil amended with hardwood mulch and give it an inch of water each week. The
TN Nursery customers love this adaptable, easy-care tree, putting it to use as a feature in the following settings:
- Butterfly garden or pollinator garden: The springtime flowers attract early-season songbirds, butterflies, bees, and moths.
- As a specimen in a small yard: The petite size of the tree makes it the perfect specimen for a smaller property.
- Understory tree: Some pair the tree in the filtered shade of taller species to fill empty spots in their yards. Because it loves partial shade, it's an ideal understory tree.
- Urban garden: The small scale of the tree--especially its narrow trunk--means it can work in an urban garden setting.

The Hornbeam Tree Proves the Adage True: Great Things Really Do Come in Small Packages
Carpinus caroliniana reaches only twenty to forty feet tall at maturity, and the rounded canopy is about the same width. It has a slender, gray trunk that has a proportional appearance to the height and a ridged texture.
The leaves are blue-green on the top and paler underneath. Each leaf will be between three to five inches long and up to two inches wide. Leaves are oval, alternate along the stem, and have serrated edges. Small yellow flowers appear in the springtime.
