Pinocchio European Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus 'Pinocchio') is the space-saving answer for gardeners who love the refined elegance of European Hornbeam but need a more compact tree. This cultivar delivers the same dense branching, smooth gray bark, and tidy growth habit in a smaller package that fits beautifully in urban gardens, foundation plantings, and narrow spaces where standard hornbeams would overwhelm.

Year-Round Appeal

The attraction starts in spring when fresh green leaves unfold with a delicate, pleated texture that catches light beautifully. The foliage maintains its clean green color through summer without the scorching or pest damage that plagues many landscape trees. Come autumn, the leaves transform to warm golden yellow before holding on well into early winter, extending the color show when most trees have already gone bare. Even after leaf drop, the smooth silver-gray bark and tight, upward-reaching branching structure provide winter interest that's especially striking against snow or evergreens.

The Perfect Hedge Alternative

Where Pinocchio European Hornbeam truly shines is as a hedge or screen. The naturally dense, pyramidal form creates solid privacy without constant pruning, yet it shears into formal shapes more easily than almost any other tree. European gardeners have used hornbeam for centuries to create living walls, allées, and formal gardens because the wood is incredibly hard and the branching so twiggy that even winter hedges provide good screening. Pinocchio brings that same versatility to smaller American landscapes.

Unmatched Adaptability

This is a tree for problem spots. Compacted clay soil that suffocates most trees? Pinocchio handles it. Urban pollution and road salt? No problem. Alkaline soil, partial shade, or exposed windy sites? This hornbeam adapts without complaint. The slow to moderate growth rate (typically 10-12 inches per year) means less pruning and a tree that maintains its compact proportions for years without aggressive maintenance. It's one of the most forgiving trees you can plant, asking for almost nothing while delivering clean, reliable performance year after year.

Landscape Uses

Use Pinocchio European Hornbeam as a stately specimen tree in smaller yards where you want formality without overwhelming the space. Plant in rows for privacy screening that stays neat and tidy, or use it to frame driveways and entries with architectural presence. The narrow, upright form makes it ideal for tight spots between houses, along property lines, or in planting strips where spreading trees would cause problems. This is also an excellent choice for containers on large patios or terraces where you want a formal accent tree that won't outgrow its space too quickly.

If you need a tough, elegant tree that delivers year-round structure and requires almost no fussing, Pinocchio European Hornbeam belongs in your landscape.

Why aren't people reading this and discussing it?
Format: Paperback
This book should be read by everybody on any side of the current debate as to what are future Iraq (Iran?, N. Korea?- w/ the current set of maroons you never know) policy should be. Ikle was Undersecretary of Defense for the Reagan administration. He is one of the original neocons. This book had an enormous influence on how Bush I and Powell decided to end our first Gulf War. He revised this book in 1991 and revised it again and wrote a new intro in 2005. My point is that this man is no cut and run liberal (and I should admit that, right now, I am leaning toward just that position). However, what makes Ikle stand out from his demented neocon brethren is that he is willing to face up to ALL of the possibilities, the difficulties and the ambiguities that are inherent in any foreign policy, let alone a war. He mentions many of the wars and theatres of those wars in the twentiety century and points out how many times politicians and generals went wrong because they would not 1. clearly set out the goals they were trying to accomplish in a war and 2. constantly reevaluate those goals in light of the developing situation. Ikle outlines a few of the difficulties that are obstacles to such a course. Rather prophetically, he talks about how difficult it is to get good intelligence to base your policies on. Sources from within the country of your opponent may mislead you for their own purposes. Agencies within your own government are posturing with the intelligence to protect their influence. Does any of this sound familiar? In one of my favorite chapters of this book, Ikle talks about a tendency that occurs when things start to get difficult in a war. Those who are supporters of the war will start posturing as patriots and referring to the opponents of the war as traitors (or, in the parlance of the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, as "surrender monkeys"). Again does this sound at all familiar? Here is another one for ya. Ilke argues that it is essential to know why exactly you are fighting. Otherwise, you will never really know when you have won. It is very clear that the whole WMD was just what Rumsfeld or Cheney (I have forgotten which- neither one of them has said anything about the war that is worth remembering in a positive sense) said it was-the one justification they "could all agree on." The role of America as the Great Democratizer has faded into memory. Now we are left with The MisDecider telling us that it is all about leaving Iraq with "a viable government" What does that mean? How is that different from what they had under Sadam? Here is my main point. Here is what makes me so angry. Powell, Rumsfeld, and Cheney all read this book back before the first Gulf War. Nothing has changed in the world to make the recommendations of this book any less vital. These men and women were supposed to be the most experienced foreign and military people the Republicans had produced (which should blow all claims to the Republicans being the party of security out of the water). They ignored these lessons because they choose to and went ahead and made what may be the most serious strategic error since Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. I am hopeful that the Dems now have more power but only slightly so. We need to have a serious discussion now. Not posturing. It may be that we should simply leave at this point because the decline of Iraq into chaos is inevitable. But as someone who is an internationalist, I think we need to look long and hard at the results of doing that before we simply do so. We owe it to the people of Iraq and the surrounding area to do whatever we can to minimize their suffering, to restore a working infrastructure and government to their country and to restore peace to their daily lives. Facing up and discussing the issues as suggested by Ilke is our duty as a democratic polity. There are no easy answers here except for the obvious fact that we cannot rely on Bush and his minions to do what needs to be done. Give this book a read. It is not gracefully written but it is short and direct. You may find it one of the strangest ironies of our time that one of the most telling critiques of the administration comes from someone who is their ally. The main difference between Ikle and people like Bush is that Ikle takes the world more seriously than his ideology.
