Carpinus betulus, or European hornbeam, can be used for hedges ranging from approximately 80 cm to 300 cm in height. The leaves of Carpinus betulus emerge in mid-April, which is usually slightly earlier than those of the European beech. The fall color of Carpinus betulus is dark yellow. In winter, a number of withered leaves remain on the branches and do not fall off until the following year, when the plant sprouts anew. These leaves are gray-brown in color and lighter than the withered leaves of the beech. A hornbeam hedge tolerates a moister location better than a beech hedge.
