CARPINUS BETULUS European Hornbeam

West Liberty at Elm, Cincinnati

Planted: 1960

Site: 5' Square in Walk

1997 Comments: Trees are formal and upright and oval in habit with some dieback possibly due to the site. They are planted in small holes in the sidewalk. The growth has been satisfactory considering that they have been here for approximately ten years. There is some variation in height and spread, but it does not appear that the trees will interfere with the overhead lines in the foreseeable future.
