Buy Fire Belle American Hornbeam online. This American native is a slow growing small hardwood tree, with the brightest and most consistent red fall color ever seen in an American Hornbeam. Hornbeams have smooth, gray bark and red to yellow fall color. 'Fire Belle' will develop a rounded canopy with age. Tolerant of part shade, but has best fall color in full sun. Drought sensitive and performs well in heavy, clay soils. Seeds are a great food source for wildlife in autumn.
