Pruning hornbeams

How difficult do you think it would be to keep these hornbeams trimmed to a somewhat shorter height? Do you think it's feasible? Also, how long do they remain bare in the winter?

    Super easy to prune the hornbeams at the height you desire .

    I would keep a min. height of 36" - they just look better that way.

    They loose their leaves at the end of autumn and leaves return in early spring. The branching habit of hornbeams is so tight (if properly pruned ) that they form a screen even without leaves.

    Hornbeams are one of my favorite choices for a garden.

    It is important when pruning to maintain a 'cant'. Simply put, you want the top to be pruned slightly inward (not apparent to the eye) so that light can penetrate the trees from top to bottom and also so the trees don't become top heavy.
