Orange Crush American Hornbeam
Orange Crush is cultivar of our native Hornbeam. Also known as Blue Beech or Ironwood, Carpinus caroliniana has carved a niche in the understory where it tolerates both shade and periodic flooding. Orange Crush was selected in North Georgia where it provided orange fall color on a rounded form. Cutting grown plants provide uniform plantings.
