Description

Hophornbeam is a small deciduous understory tree.

It has a finely branched rounded crown. The trunk is up to 2 across. On mature trees, the bark of the trunk is rough-textured and grayish brown, dividing into narrow rectangular strips; this provides the trunk with a slightly shaggy appearance.

The bark of smaller branches is more smooth and gray with small lenticels. The alternate leaves are ovate, pinnately veined, and doubly serrated.Hop Hornbeam is usually monoecious, the same tree has separate male and female flowers in the form of catkins. On rare occasions, some trees are unisexual.
