Carpinus turczaninovii seed

LATIN NAME: CARPINUS TURCZANINOVII

COMMON NAME: Turczaninow Hornbeam

The Turczaninow hornbeam catkins the rounded, dense tree with the oval, toothed, green leaves that turn the gold and the orange in the autumn and the long, slender, yellow-green catkins that open through the spring, the small, ribbed nuts hanging in the leafy bracts. The tree keeps the neat, compact form, and the bark stays smooth and grey. It stands the cold and the city air well. It likes the sun or the part shade, and the moist, well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

In the birch family, the hornbeams have a long, sturdy record in the studies of the hardy street trees, and the turczaninovii species appears in the research on the compact city growth and the autumn colour. The arborists value the neat, close-pruned form, while the horticulturists note the gold and orange autumn. The seed biology fills out the picture, and the growers of the small, hardy shade trees keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the street and the small garden, the Turczaninow hornbeam catkins the spring and goldens the autumn. The hard wood serves the tool handles and the small wares, the tree takes the close pruning well for the hedges, and it stands the cold and the city air. It grows well in the moist, well-drained ground. Neat, sturdy and autumn-bright.

To grow the Turczaninow Hornbeam from seed,

Sow the seeds into the deep, gritty drills of the nursery bed, then cover them lightly, keep the bed moist, and the seedlings surface within a few weeks

Keep the bed gently watered, and thin the seedlings for the sturdy young trees. The gold leaves come within a few seasons.

. Plant the young trees in the moist, well-drained ground, and the gold leaves will catkin the autumn over the years.
