Carpinus coreana – Carpinus coreana

View prices and availability
Very variable, large shrub to small tree with graceful, overhanging branches. The crown form varies from a very flattened spherical to round. The leaves are deeply veined, dark green on top and conspicuously lighter green on the underside. No remarkable autumn colours. The flower catkins are inconspicuous, but the light green fruiting catkins consist of relatively large bracts. In general, many fruiting catkins are formed. Root growth is relatively close to the surface. Has few soil requirements but flourishes best in loamy soils. Tolerates drought. Carpinus coreana probably has the variety status of C. turczaninowii, so a change of nomenclature can be expected.
