The Purple Beech is one of our most beautiful trees.

The Purple Beech is one of our most beautiful trees.

A superb tree for creating contrast in a parkland or large garden as the darkness of the foliage draws the eye through the landscape. With this in mind it is useful to plant this on the perimeter of your area as if it is too close in view you never notice beyond it.

This large, rather conical tree with its dark purple leaves is sometimes wrongly referred to as “Copper Beech”, which is seed grown and variable in leaf colour.

This cultivar has a much deeper purple leaf, and is a tree of great beauty and majesty.

It makes a magnificent subject planted as a specimen in parks and large estates.

Beech thrives just about anywhere other than exposed and coastal locations.

As it is shallow rooted, under planting is not recommended.

It does well in most reasonably fertile, well drained soils, except heavy clay or light sand.

Mature height: 20m+
