XfrogPlants Hornbeam
( Carpinus betulus )

This XfrogPlants Hornbeam 3D model collection contains
three
highly detailed, fully textured variations of the plant at different ages.
Tree, deciduous broadleaf
Bloom: April-May
Origin: Central and Eastern Europe (Germany to Italy and Balkans)
Environment: mixed forests, up to 1.000 m; on fresh, fertile soil
Climate: temperate
Notes: The Hornbeam is a humble but sometimes majestic rural tree. Once common in Europe’s mixed broadleaf forests (with English Oak, Sweet Chestnut, European Beech and Hazel), it is much less diffused today. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Hornbeam became a high-society fashionable tree for decoration of villas' boulevards.
