  • Landscape Architecture

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.
