Carpinus pubescens

An Asian Hornbeam with a naturally weeping habit, new to cultivation, with smallish, dainty foliage, attractively red tinted on emergence, especially on the reverse. Grows to 15m in its natural habitat though probably just a small tree here in the UK, as it is at Abbotsbury. From SW China and N Vietnam growing at up to 2000m on limestone. This collection from Yunnan, China.
