Description
Known as aka-shide loose-flower hornbeam or loose-flowered hornbeam … A beautiful dainty , deciduous tree of mountain forests, and typically 10 to 15 m tall … My tree at home is perhaps 6-8 metres or more and superb … Endemic to Korean Peninsula, and Japan … It has much smaller leaves than other Hornbeam species , as seen against my hand in pictures … Delightful rich green foliage providing a soft shade in spring & summer … Autumn tones range between yellows , golds and hints of red some years ( presumably due to colder autumn ) … Family:
Betulaceae
