A unique, slower-growing hornbeam whose bright lime green foliage emerges in spring before gradually transitioning to a striking chartreuse yellow through summer and mellowing to golden green in autumn. Less vigorous than other hornbeams, this natural variety has denser branching and a tighter habit, holding its colour well without scorching from summer sun. As both a specimen and hedge, Carpinus ‘Chartreuse’ brings vibrant, lasting colour to landscapes while remaining easy to grow in a multitude of soils. Its graceful habit and acid-yellow leaves offer a brilliant alternative to standard green-leafed hornbeams.

Garden care:

Plant as soon as conditions allow (avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil). Incorporate well-rotted organic matter into the planting hole and stake and support firmly. Requiring little pruning, this hornbeam can be pruned for shape in winter.
