Love the beautiful foliage and fall color of the European Hornbeam but don’t have the space for a 60’ tree? Consider Carpinus betulus ‘Frans Fontaine.’ This slim selection keeps its columnar form growing 35’ tall and 8-15’ wide. ‘Frans Fontaine’ leafs out with the Hornbeams’ signature serrated green leaves in spring before turning a vibrant yellow in the fall. Plant this Hornbeam in full sun or partial shade in most soils. Use Carpinus betulus ‘Frans Fontaine’ along an allée, as street trees, as screens, and in parks or gardens.
