I planted one 40 years ago. It's 15 ft wide and 35 ft high beautiful tree with no problems. The leaves fall a bit late in the autumn.
I grew up around Epping Forest - loads of Hornbeam. Now I live near the National Forest, no-one here has heard of them
I never heard about Hornbeam trees until I read "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman. Thanks for this video, very informative! I love seeing people enthusiastic about their interests, and thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with us.
Sounds like an interesting book, no worries!
We have trees in the deep south called ironwood like this
Came here for hornbeam leaf identification in the autumn. Certain leaves are great for an aquarium. These leaves, hazel,walnut,hornbeam and mulberry leaves are some great leaves.
Awesome!
I've just seen that the wood was used to make the cogs of mills because it was almost impossible to split. It does however react badly to water.
I really enjoyed your style of presenting the information. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome insightful video. The European Hornbeam overall is larger than its North American cousin; Carpinus Caroliniana.
That drink made from Hornbeam sounds very interesting.
This is one of the strongest more durable European Hardwoods. It is one of my favorite deciduous hardwoods. I have made Bows and Arrows from this excellent hardwood as well as Tool handles, ,Walking Sticks. The "Muscle" features, shows a truly a meta-physical- spiritual feature aspect of this unique tree. I wonder how durable Hornbeam is as compared to its relative, Hop Hornbeam?
Bet those bows have an intense kickback! I grew up shooting bows my dad made for all kinds of wood, don't ever think he used hornbeam though!

The Bows were good. A key factor in dealing with Hornbeam, is to season it in a garage where it does not get wet and humid.
Catching up & watching your past videos, excellent photography and information regarding a rarely mentioned tree species - with much thx young Sir
Excellent thank you Robert 🌿
Thanks! Great video :)
Hornbeams are great trees for climbing lol, it's so hard to break the healthy branches
Great video mate, informative and really nicely filmed.
thank you very much!
Thank you! This is awesome and i love your videos 😍🙏🏽💚🌳🌈
awesome! you may interested my main channel, Rob Dymott - in 2021 i am documenting my journey to a more sustainable lifestyle!
Wonderful story. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video,
one of the hottest picks recently for hedges here at my place (you can guess my country by my family name LOL). Just planted a round hundred tiny bare root seedlings yesterday. 6 more years to go and a marvellous green wall will guard me off my neighbour's sight:) ps. love the climate of your clip
Its owesome firewood, hornbeam looks very similar to beech tree..
There were a couple of enormous ones in the wood across the road from me in Langdon Hills, but I went looking for them a year or so ago and they've both died? Has there been a recent spate of disease in the way Ash has been affected recently - any idea?
Was that ring barking done just as an act of vandalism?
Yep
In the US, there are trees called the Eastern Hop Hornbeam. Are these related to the UK's Hornbeams?
Yes, they're part of the Betulaceae family
Yes they are related, the European versions are larger than the American versions.
Может это хмелеграб?
Jack Hargreaves did a program on Hornbeam and why explained why they use them for making pub skittles.
RIP Jack.
Sunflash the badger character in the series of books written by Brian Jaques has a club made out of hornbeam.
awesome, i wouldnt want to mess with him
Really not too much info on this tree on UA-cam thank you.
you're welcome!
Wow, never even heard of this tree! Guessed it must be a tree of Southern Climes, had to google it, don't think it grows north of the Scottish borders.
oh really! I haven’t been to Scotland since a young child, so I can't remember the trees.
I was told that hornbeam is in the beech family
So hornbeam is part of the birch family, but hornbeam and beech are certainly quite similar in appearance!
@@LeaveCurious oh ok, thank you for the knowledge tip
@@XiangnuKhaan you're welcome!
Please provide the scientific name.
carpinus betulus - sorry, i never cared much for latin names
