Hornbeam stands out from other trees with its fluted trunk. Like a charlotte mould! The squirrel frequently sets up its nest on a hornbeam located near an oak tree. The smooth bark of the hornbeam prohibits direct access to the nest through the trunk and thus protects the animal from predators, in particular the marten. The wood of the hornbeam is or was particularly interesting for the manufacture of yokes, benches, butcher’s stalls, wheel hubs, poles of mines, stakes, railroad sleepers, paper pulp, handles of tools or umbrella, skittles , balls, shoe shapers, spoons, toys, mechanical piano parts! In contact with the charm, you will have the privilege of feeling enveloped in softness and becoming one with the tree. It is sometimes difficult to separate from his embrace as it is good to be at his side. We are – without a doubt – in love!
