hornbeam [Rockhampton Red]

Deciduous tree, with grey bark and a densely branched crown about 15m (50ft) tall when mature. It bears bright green foliage that unusually for a hornbeam turns to fiery reds and oranges in autumn. It can often hold its dead, brown leaves through winter, shedding them in spring. Produces green catkins in late spring and clusters of winged fruit later in the year
