A native of Chile and introduced to Britain in the early 1830s, this beech is a fast grower.
Of rounded habit and medium to large size, this has small, heart shaped leaves which turn yellow as the year progresses.
Very good for parks and public spaces, it does best in a sunny position and fairly fertile soil.
It will not tolerate planting in calcareous soils.
Often thought of as an evergreen, it is in fact deciduous.
Medium height: 15-20m
