Carpinus japonica

Narrow leaves have a remarkable, deeply impressed, 3-D character - worth growing for this one feature alone. Not bothered by disease, it grows rapidly to form a round-shaped crown 25-30’ tall. During summer and autumn, the long seed-bearing "hops" make the tree appear decorated. Performs best in the South if partially shaded.
