OBS

The European hornbeam has a whitish, tough wood used in agricultural implements. The tree is a common ornamental in hedges and covered walks of Old World gardens and is often pruned into strange shapes. The American hornbeam is less popular as an ornamental; it requires partial shade and wind protection.

Plantation ornementale de charmes taillés.

CONT

Les rideaux de verdure sont formés d'arbres à tige ou d'arbrisseaux garnis depuis leur base, comme les haies, mais de plus haute taille. [...] Pour les rideaux garnis depuis le sol, le charme est l'arbre le plus indiqué et le plus employé; les anciens parcs à la française comportent de nombreuses charmilles d'un grand agrément. Les plants mis en place à 50-80 cm de distance donnent rapidement un rideau de 3 à 4 m de hauteur qu'une taille chaque hiver, complétée par une tonte en juin, rend d'une grande régularité.

There is no recent resource assessment and therefore the status and capacity of the forest estate is not well known.

OBS
