Carpinus betulus ‘Fastigiata’ is a tree that is frequently planted in residential neighborhoods and along green belts.
In its juvenile form, the tree grows into a strikingly narrow pyramidal shape. Later, this cultivar spreads out noticeably and eventually forms a broad pyramidal crown. The difference between its shape in the juvenile stage and in maturity is relatively large. The tree is therefore less suitable for planting along very narrow streets. For narrower streets, it is better to choose Carpinus betulus ‘Frans Fontaine’.
It is a very healthy cultivar. The tree was selected in 1876 by the Späth Nursery in Germany.
