Description
Hornbeam Sentinel at 2.50m is exactly what you’d hope for: tall, upright and wonderfully composed. This hornbeam topiary is designed for impact: framing entrances, punctuating long views, and adding that satisfying vertical emphasis that makes a garden feel “finished”.
Hornbeam is also wonderfully practical under the drama. It tolerates heavier soils, copes better with exposure than many similarly formal species, and rewards regular shaping with a dense outline that holds its posture through the seasons. In short: it’s a statement piece, but a well-judged one.

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 sentinel topiary is well suited to UK conditions, including heavier or moisture-retentive soils. It grows well in full sun or partial shade and benefits from consistent watering while establishing, especially at this height. Trim during the growing season to keep the profile clean and upright; regular shaping strengthens the internal framework and stops any sections trying to “freestyle”.
Common Uses
Ideal for framing entrances, marking gateways, or giving formal planting schemes a sense of authority. It works particularly well in pairs, or in repeated placement where you want rhythm and a bit of grandeur.
