In this episode of 'Sleepy Seedlings: The Bedtime Podcast with Trees', we journey to the quiet presence of the muscular hornbeam tree. Known for its subtle strength and unwavering resilience, the hornbeam stands quietly in the forest, enduring through all seasons with calm dignity. As the gentle sounds of a forest stream flow in the background, we’ll explore the history, botany, and folklore of this unassuming yet steadfast tree. Often called "musclewood" for its rippled bark and exceptionally tough wood, the hornbeam has supported generations with its quiet strength—symbolising endurance, inner resilience, and the power of patience.
