Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus)

Hornbeam tolerates damp sites and surprisingly deep shade. Hornbeam wood is amazingly tough (and will quickly blunt a chainsaw), hence it being known as "Ironwood", and burns well, hence another synonym, "Candlewood".

These trees typically like poorly drained heavy soils, usually slightly acidic. They will recover quickly from browsing.

Hornbeam's natural range in the UK is in the South East and East Anglia, where it was managed by pollarding, although we have some beautiful specimens in old wood pasture in Somerset dating from the 19th century, when they were popular. Carpinus betulus thrives on heavy soils and works well to make a formal hedge on its own, or as a component of a mixed hedge. It is, consequently, good for privacy and for providing shelter for birds and other wildlife.

Plants For Sale

Like all the native trees we sell, our Hornbeams are grown in the UK from UK origin seed. We're currently selling 2 year old 60/90cm plants, in multiples of 5.

Suppliers: RV Roger, British Hardwood Trees, Cheviot Trees. All these growers are Plant Healthy certified.

Please note that standard sizes relate to tree girths in cm, and approximate to the Hornbeam's height in feet. See our planting and size guide for details and tips on planting.

All these Hornbeam trees are bare root, and are consequently available for delivery from November until March. During the lifting season there may be up to a month's delay between placing the order and dispatching (longer for standards), due to weather conditions or pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence. Orders for Hornbeams placed between March and September are confirmed in October ready for dispatch from November.

Have a look at our videos on what to do when your plants arrive and how to plant a bare root tree. Please ask about larger trees; we can often supply them but will need to quote on an individual basis as carriage varies so much.

Nice chair
Easy to assemble and looks clean in my home office. The lumbar support is actually helpful, and I like that the arms flip up so I can tuck it under my desk. It’s comfortable for a full workday, though the seat could be a bit softer. Overall, solid value for the price.

Comfortable and easy to move around
This chair is really comfortable. The seat cushion is soft but supportive, and the mesh back keeps my back cool during long workdays. The lumbar support helps a lot with my posture. What I especially like is how smoothly the casters roll — glides effortlessly on my floor, no noise at all. Assembly was quick, around 10 minutes. The flip-up armrests also help save space when pushing the chair under my desk. Great value for the price. Highly recommend for anyone needing a solid, comfortable home office chair.

Great chair at a good price
It's a great chair, comfortable and reasonably priced for an ergonomic office chair. I usually don't write reviews, but I also understand how purchasing an office chair can feel overwhelming with so many choices. I needed to replace the chair I'd purchased in 2020. At the time I'd not spent a lot of money, not sure if working remotely would be temporary or permanent. It lasted about as long as one might expect. I did quite a bit of research choosing a replacement. I'm always hesitant to purchase furniture without trying it out in person. This chair is worth the price, not on the higher end of what's available but definitely not cheap. I've had it for about three weeks and so far, it's perfect for the 8-10 hours I spend in it during the week. It arrived early, a great bonus. Assembly was quick, with easy-to-follow directions and all the tools and parts needed. (including some spare screws). I agree with others who mentioned that a spare set of hands would have helped, but I had no issue doing it myself. It's a sturdy chair with good lumbar support. The adjustability of that feature can accommodate different heights. (I'm around 5'4") Changing seat height or whether the back tilts or remains stationary are all easy to accomplish. The one minor caveat is the seat is leather, so in warm weather and shorts season, it's not ideal. I solved that by purchasing a cover (because of the way the chair fits together, I purchased one that covers both the seat and back because a seat cover by itself would not work). That has worked fine and I'm not sure whether I'll keep the cover on all year. Overall, it's a great chair at a good price.

Great price for the quality. Highly recommend those who are looking for the office chair.
