Description
The Hornbeam Cone at 1.8m is formal topiary with a little flexibility in its manners. Tall, tapered and satisfyingly upright, it brings instant structure without feeling overly rigid.
Hornbeam’s naturally resilient character makes this cone particularly well suited to British gardens, especially where soil or exposure might make fussier topiary sulk. With fresh green growth in spring, warm autumn colour, and a strong winter silhouette, it’s a topiary that earns its place year after year: quietly dependable, and very well turned out.

How will my hedge arrive?
All our Hedging is supplied with a rootball wrapped in hessian as standard. Container grown options are also available out of season or upon request. We’ll be happy to discuss the best format for your needs before finalising your order.
Growing & Care
Hornbeam cone topiary grows reliably in most UK garden soils, including heavier or moisture-retentive ground where other formal species can struggle. It performs well in full sun or partial shade and benefits from regular watering during establishment, particularly given its height. Trim once or twice a year during the growing season to maintain the clean taper and encourage dense, even growth from base to tip.
Common Uses
This conical form is ideal for entrances, borders and formal planting schemes where height and direction are needed. It works beautifully as a focal point or in symmetrical pairs, adding definition without overwhelming surrounding planting.
