European Hornbeam (Carpinus Betulus)

Some more seeds that don't need any scarification/stratification! Planted these straight out, but 3-4 months to germinate seems a bit long... Hope they get established enough to survive the winter, could always bring them indoors I guess...


Nice chunky seeds too...

Seem to grow quite nicely in informal upright, thats not a decision to make anytime soon in any case.
