OPINION: When does your garden put its prettiest face on? I think mine looks its freshest best in late spring, when the leaves finally return to the hornbeam hedges that enclose my vege garden.
Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) makes a wonderful formal hedge, but has the strange habit of holding on to its brown autumn leaves, rather than letting them fall. This means it looks dead all winter, so its spring resurrection is all the more dramatic.
