Carpinus caroliniana Production at Johnson's Nursery, Inc.

摘要

Carpin us caroliniana is a small under story tree, 20 ft to 30 ft tall and wide. It is found in lowland woods from Nova Scotia to Minnesota and south to Texas and Florida. The plant is prized for its muscular-looking trunks of slate gray bark. The common name musclewood comes from this interesting characteristic. Fall color can be outstanding. Some trees develop glowing reds, oranges, or clear yellows. Unfortunately, many other individuals have disappointing dirty yellow to brown fall color.
