Korean Hornbeam Hardiness
Hi everyone,
I am looking for opinions on the hardiness of Korean Hornbeams. The information on the internet is highly variable and the tree is not listed in my most trusted source - Missouri Botanical Gardens. Bonsai BCI species guide has a general hornbeam page which says carpinus go from zone 3+, but they do not specify which hornbeams they are talking about. I know that C. carolinia and C. betula are super hardy, so they could be referring to these. I am coming across wide ranges of hardiness, everywhere from zone 3 to zone 7. I am in zone 5. Do any 'coldies' out there grow hornbeams who could offer me some concrete info on this trees hardiness? Thanks, A. |

Hornbeams should be fine where you are, but you could always go to the experts - Toronto Bonsai Society meets at least monthly - check with Edwards Gardens about when and who to call.

Carpinus Koreana is zoned 5 in USDA.
I live in zone 5, and all my tree's are sheltered in a foam box i make cover with straw. Since I use this method I have not less a tree.
