  Hornbeam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hornbeams (Carpinus) are a genus of relatively small hardwood trees, placed in the birch family Betulaceae, though some botanists separate it off together with the hazels (Corylus) and hop-hornbeams (Ostrya) into a segregate family Corylaceae.
American Hornbeam is also occasionally known as blue-beech, ironwood, or musclewood; the first from the resemblance of the bark to that of the American Beech Fagus grandifolia, the other two from the hardness of the wood and the muscular appearance of the trunk respectively.
The botanic name for the genus, Carpinus, is the original Latin name for the European species.

The leafy bract attached to the paired fruits is very distinctive and the winter buds tend to be four-angled in cross-section, with many brown, ciliate scales (a hand lens is helpful to see these characters).
Carpinus caroliniana is sometimes considered to be a shrub, but the growth form is more often that of a small tree.
Carpinus caroliniana is distributed throughout most of the eastern United States and throughout all of Wisconsin.

 Carpinus species - UBC Botanical Garden Forums
I know that Carpinus japonica in local gardens is probably going to be a 25'-30' tree in 20-30 years- in the wild it can reach 50'-60'.
I have a Carpinus omiense (which may be an invalid name) that is 12 years old and is an upright, quite delicate shrub that is now about 8'-10' high, about 4'-5' wide (and has incredible transluscent burgundy new foliage).
There are plenty of Carpinus in China, though I doubt that too many of them are in cultivation: Carpinus in Flora of China (click on "lower taxa" in the bottom left corner of the key).

 Carpinus fangiana
Carpinus fangiana, Fang hornbeam, is a handsome, large-leafed member of the Betulaceae; one of its most striking features is its pendent, tail-like fruiting catkins.
Hornbeams are noted for their small leaves with impressed veins and terminal, bracteate catkins.
In Carpinus fangiana the large leaves, closely set with pinnate veins, are the perfect foil for its enormous, leafy catkins (to 50 cm long).
