Buy Mt. Omei Chinese Hornbeam online. This elegant and graceful tree was discovered on Mt. Omei in China. Some plant enthusiasts say that this is the most graceful hornbeam alive! It's excellent for bonsai enthusiasts, as well as those looking for a rare, unique, and hard-to-find specimen not widely propagated in the American market. It features bronze new growth turning to green in spring and summer, and turning hues of yellow in autumn. Can look somewhat weeping in the landscape due to its long branches.
Family: Betulaceae · Common Name: Hornbeam
