Frans Fontaine Hornbeam brings crisp, formal structure to your landscape with a tightly columnar form that fits into narrow planting areas without sacrificing height. Rich forest green foliage stays dense through the growing season, then turns a bright gold in fall. The smooth gray bark offers quiet winter interest, and the tree's upright shape makes it especially effective as a living screen, street tree, or elegant vertical accent.
