Carpinus betulus ‘Frans Fontaine’ is a deciduous tree known for its narrow, columnar growth habit. Typically, it reaches a height of 10-12 metres (33-39 feet) and a width of about 3-4 metres (10-13 feet). This tree is prized for its dense foliage, which provides a formal appearance and makes it suitable for use as a street tree, in urban environments, or in gardens where space is limited. The leaves are fresh green, turning to shades of yellow and orange in the autumn. ‘Frans Fontaine’ is also noted for its hardiness and adaptability to various soil conditions.
