Arrived in the Fifties

Botanical Name: Carpinus turczaninovii

Common Name: Korean Hornbeam

Story of the Tree

This tree was imported from Japan in the 1950s — already a mature tree when it arrived — by Sandy Planting. It lived in Sandy's care for decades before I obtained it around 2021.

A hornbeam of this age and provenance carries something that can't be rushed.
