Notes

• The American hornbeam is a small, deciduous tree native to the eastern United States. Its leaves are a reddish-purple shade in the spring, shift to dark green in summer, and then turn yellow to orange-red in the fall. Even in winter, the tree’s ridged, blue-gray bark provides an extra hint of visual interest.
• When planted in the shade, the tree will develop wide, wandering branches, while a hornbeam planted in full sun will grow a round, bushy crown.
