‘Pyramidalis’ hornbeam (also sold as ‘Fastigiata’) boasts a narrow, columnar habit only 3–4 m wide by 12 m tall, perfect for avenues, tight spaces or vertical accents. Dense, dark‑green foliage turns golden in autumn, holding brown into winter for seasonal screening. Requires little pruning but can be clipped to maintain symmetry. Adaptable to most soils, winds and urban conditions, providing year‑round architectural structure.
