Originating from Japan and Korea. A hardy plant appreciated for its small foliage and resistance to summer heat.
One of its characteristics is the light bark with grey streaks that make it easily recognisable
The Korean hornbeam, a close relative of our hornbeam, is characterised by the yellow and orange colours of its foliage during the autumn months.

A sinuous, slender tree that stands out. The pale bark contrasts nicely with the bright green leaves. In winter, when bare, it displays neat and balanced branching.
