Hornbeam makes a near-perfect deciduous hedge; why don’t more people don’t choose this marvellous native plant for their boundaries? In spring, it is full of vibrancy with bright-green fresh foliage, while in autumn it turns to delightful shades of yellow, then russet-brown. It looks a bit like beech from a distance and retains a few coppery leaves through winter in much the same way, but is actually a better choice if your garden has soil that is not perfectly drained. Carpinus betulus is a hedge that, when clipped regularly, is dense and can be kept really smart, suiting grand, formal gardens perfectly; think of the amazing tunnel hedge at Alnwick Castle Gardens in Northumberland, for example. But we find it also works perfectly in smaller or more relaxed gardens, rural or urban. This plant holds an Award of Garden Merit (AGM) from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) which is given only to the best garden plants
