1 Columnaris Nana Hornbeam Live Plant 6 Inch Tall Bare Root Grafted 1 Year Old Carpinus betulus

This is a young grafted Carpinus betulus 'Columnaris Nana', a compact, narrow-growing hornbeam selection prized for its upright columnar habit and dense, finely textured foliage. At roughly 6 inches tall and one year old, it arrives as a bare root, grafted plant ready to establish in the landscape or a container. Its tight, vertical form makes it a refined choice for small gardens, framing, or structured plantings where space is limited.

A deciduous tree with neat, ribbed green leaves that turn shades of yellow and gold in autumn, Columnaris Nana is grown primarily as an ornamental accent. Its slow, compact growth and columnar shape suit specimen planting, hedges, and patio containers. Plant in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil and water regularly while establishing. The grafted top assures the true dwarf columnar form.
