The deployment of a mulch layer over the root area of the hornbeam can also speed up the growth of the tree. The mulching ensures that moisture is better retained in the soil and gradually released to the roots. This is especially important in the hot summer months of the year. Also and especially with hornbeams
in the bucket mulching is recommended. You can use these materials for mulching, for example:- bark mulch
- lawn clippings
- green waste
To what height can I grow the hornbeam?
If you accelerate the growth of the hornbeam, your tree can reach a height of up to 20 meters to reach. Of course, this assumes that you have chosen the right location and not cut back the tree in height. However, many gardeners plant the tree as a Hedge and therefore cut it to a smaller height. In this case, too, the measures to accelerate growth are useful. After all, these ensure that you quickly have an opaque privacy screen.
Tip
Use clippings for mulching
You can recycle green waste from your own garden for mulching. As long as it is green waste, it can be used well under hornbeams. In this way, they promote good soil conditions and contribute to the growth of the hornbeam in the long term.
