Carpinus caroliniana 'JFS-KW6' ~ Native Flame® American Hornbeam green-bloom Summer Wine Ninebark - FlickrNative Flame American Hornbeam is a slow growing native deciduous tree with an upright oval crown and bark that earns distinct muscle like fluting when mature. The dark green oval foliage turns bright red in the fall. Separate inconspicuous male (white) and female (green) catkins bloom in early spring and the female catkins give way to distinct clusters of winged nutlets. Prefers rich moist soils.
