In my experience in South Wales, I've known a number of Hornbeams to have what I can best describe as dimples in the trunk. I believe that hornbeam was also very popular in use as butchers chopping blocks. They make a very good hedge and have an advantage of supporting a large number of native invertebrates.
First of your videos I've seen, great job. We've a lot of Hornbeam in our Sussex wood (only been wood ownersfor a very short time). Thanks for the knowledge.
Really enjoy your videos, thanks for the information once again ,I am going to give the bearing block A go ,currently using a fatwood and Holly but Hornbean sounds ideal ,have a great Christmas and a great New Year
What a very interesting video, your knowledge of nature never ceases to amaze me, I really do believe that if you wrote a book covering all that you know about Bushcraft and nature it would be a great seller. Merry Christmas to you all at Jack Raven Bushcraft and may 2022 bring you continued success and hopefully we will get up to do a course all being well.
I luv all these so called experts, iv worked for over 40 years in the english countryside and still do, from keeper too treesurgeon and forager, i no a bit but i hate the word expert!😮

Thank you Gary! great information on the hornbeam. Useful to know
Love the different descriptions of the bark, for me it reminds me of an elephants trunk or leg - probably similar to the muscles you described.
Interesting!
Always great info my friend

The Latin name is: Robinia pseudoacacia?
It's Carpinus betulus.
