Comments:
The hornbeam is a European native tree that grows up to 60 feet with a rounded, pyramid shaped crown. The spring flowers appear before the foliage emerges and have a lovely chartreuse and yellow color. The female flowers mature and have distinct bracts that hang down. Autumn foliage is inconsistent but can be yellow to orange. The bark provides winter interest. The trunk has a distinct sinewy, or muscle-like, look with smooth fluting. Sometimes called ironwood, this tree has very dense and hard wood.
