Looking for a tree that can withstand heavy use and harsh conditions? Look no further than Ostrya carpinifolia, the European Hop Hornbeam. This broadleaf deciduous tree can reach up to 24 meters in height and has a dense, rounded crown. It's native to southern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean and is found in medium elevations in several countries including Italy, France, Greece, and Turkey. The wood of this tree is very hard and is historically used for general carpentry and for charcoal. Its stable wood was even used to fashion plane soles. Beyond its practical applications, Ostrya carpinifolia is also a beautiful addition to any landscape, with its birch-like leaves and pendant fruit clusters that resemble hops. Consider adding this hardy tree to your outdoor space!
