Description
The leaves of Carpinus caroliniana are alternate, simple, with a strong pinnate vein pattern, elliptical shape, doubly serrate margins and an acuminate (drawn out) leaf tip. It looks very similar to Ostrya virginiana however; Carpinus caroliniana veins rarely fork before they reach the edge of the leaf.
