Hornbeam is a type of deciduous tree belonging to the genus Carpinus. It is commonly found in Europe, Asia, and North America. Hornbeam trees are known for their dense, hard wood and distinctive serrated leaves. They can grow up to 30 meters tall and are often used in landscaping due to their attractive shape and ability to tolerate various soil conditions. The wood of the hornbeam is strong and durable, making it suitable for furniture, flooring, and tool handles. Additionally, hornbeam trees are often planted as hedges or windbreaks because they can be easily trimmed and shaped. Their resilience and aesthetic appeal make them a popular choice in gardens and parks.
