I haven't seen a full-grown Japanese hornbeam, so I cannot comment on form; however, I do have several of the Asian hornbeams, and out of a group of plants notable for exceptionally fresh, clean, richly colored, and attractive foliage, this one is the best. It always gets comments.

Apparantly this tree/shrub grows quite wide. I am looking forward to watching mine grow. As for zone 4 hardy, wow, I dunno. I'd be interested to know if they are.
