Discovered in Italy and still uncommon in the trade, 'Monument' develops a dense, upright column of green foliage from the base without requiring pruning. The alder-like leaves remain green through summer before turning a warm butter-yellow in fall. Slow growing and remarkably narrow, this distinctive hornbeam reaches approximately 8 feet tall and only 3–4 feet wide in 10 years, making it an excellent vertical accent for smaller gardens.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rf9w7k\" data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"626\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"599\"\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, narrow, pyramidal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1so0dz4\" data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"684\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"646\"\u003e10-Year Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 8 ft tall × 3–4 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"13tjzeu\" data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"708\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"687\" data-end=\"703\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1h03wo6\" data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"788\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"723\"\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green, alder-like leaves held densely along the upright branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"t2cemk\" data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"820\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"806\"\u003eFall Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butter yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"w00iid\" data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"891\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"834\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discovered in Italy; still uncommon in the nursery trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"147n8ck\" data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"930\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"po69nh\" data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"961\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"942\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-draining soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"9apasd\" data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"988\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"978\"\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hav46x\" data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1097\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eBest Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Containers, small landscapes, foundation plantings, vertical accents, and collector gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"l61kw8\" data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eGarden Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buchholz Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":67618515026114,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9791\/3282\/files\/Carpinus.betulus.Monument.4.jpg?v=1790617222","url":"https:\/\/buchholznursery.com\/products\/buy-carpinus-betulus-monument-common-hornbean","provider":"Buchholz Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
