Carpinus Betulus 'Lucas' - Circa 2-3m tall

Naturally columnar, Carpinus betulus 'Lucas' is a refined hornbeam variety perfect for creating height without width in modern gardens. Its rich green, pleated foliage turns warm golden tones in autumn, offering seasonal interest and structure. Ideal for screening or formal planting, it brings a neat, architectural presence to any outdoor space.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, it is tolerant of most soil types and conditions. Low maintenance too, it responds well to pruning, maintaining a narrow form. Pair with underplanting such as Lavandula augustifolia or Box hedging for a structured yet soft planting scheme. Plant as a feature or avenue tree where its elegant shape can truly stand out.

Supplied in 12 litre containers at circa 2m tall.
