Carpinus caroliniana 'CCSQU' [sold as Palisade®™]
Palisade®

Palisade is an upright, narrow, oval habit cultivar that is noted for its strongly ascending branches. Its dark green leaves changes to a soft golden color in the fall. A clean, trouble-free small tree, useful in intensive situations such as patios and malls, and equally interesting in naturalized plantings. Useful as a large hedge if coppiced when young. Performs well in heavy shade and tolerates periodic flooding. Difficult to transplant. Move balled-and-burlapped for best results.
