Hornbeams are very inexpensive to buy by mail order. However, this also has disadvantages. Often there are high shipping costs. You cannot inspect the trees before buying and have to rely on the description of the seller.

If a tree does not grow, there is a replacement. Most nurseries will be happy to come to your home if you have any problems.
