Available in 2 sizes

Our Ostrya Range. In the image of the Hop Hornbeam, these deciduous robust trees are valued for their ability to adapt to various types of soil. The most common is the Hop Hornbeam, Ostrya carpinifolia, recognizable by its bright green leaves resembling those of the hornbeam, and its fruits reminiscent of hops. It is a medium-sized tree, ideal for providing shade and structure to the garden. 'Marja Findling' is a dwarf variety, grafted on a stem that forms a small tree with an original habit, to be placed as a standalone. The Ostrya virginiana, also known as the Virginian Hop Hornbeam, is more compact and has slightly finer foliage. Also worth mentioning is the Ostrya japonica which charms with its broader foliage and ornamental value, making it an ideal variety for small spaces or zen gardens.
The Ostrya are undemanding deciduous trees. They adapt well to limestone or slightly acidic soils, as long as they are well-drained. Their maintenance is minimal: moderate watering in the first year after planting, then they tolerate drought well. Ostrya trees are also disease-resistant and do not require special care apart from light pruning to maintain their shape.
