carpinus betulus ‘Rockhampton Red’
Originally discovered around 30-years ago on the nursery here in Rockhampton by founder Geoff Locke, this fantastic autumn colouring cultivar of the humble Hornbeam was granted European plant breeders rights following rigorous testing for uniqueness and reliability.
10-years on from the CBRR’s introduction and industry applaud the legacy is an incredibly adaptable, firey hued native tree which can tolerate the toughest soil conditions whilst still drawing the eye in the onset of autumn. We offer a good range of CBRR examples within our specimen tree stock.
