You are bidding on about 20 HEART LEAF HORNBEAM SEEDS - Carpinus cordata.
This elegant deciduous tree is a hidden gem of East Asian mountain forests. Unlike its more common cousins, it boasts large, romantic heart-shaped leaves that create a lush, layered canopy. It is a slow-growing master of the understory, perfect for gardeners who appreciate architectural beauty and quiet, long-lasting presence.
The tree grows to a height of 20 to 30 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide.
Heart-Shaped Foliage: The leaves are the star of the show—large, deeply veined, and featuring a distinct "cordate" (heart-shaped) base where the leaf meets the stem.
Serrated Edges: Each leaf edge is finely "double-toothed," giving the foliage a crisp, textured appearance that catches the light.
Hanging Nutlets: In late summer, the tree produces beautiful, pendulous clusters of seeds protected by papery, leaf-like bracts that resemble delicate Japanese lanterns.
Zones: 5a to 8b
Mature Height: 20 ft. - 40 feet
Mature Spread: 10 to 20 feet
