Fagus sylvatica 'Atropunicea' 60-80 cm (Bare Root)
Fagus sylvatica 'Atropunicea,' commonly called the Purple Beech, is a stunning tree frequently used for hedging due to its excellent response to pruning and its dense marcescent foliage, which stays on the branches until new growth emerges in spring. The leaves are chocolate-purple, oval to ovoid in shape, and transition to a rich coppery-red in Autumn. Depending on your budget, the length of the hedge, your level of patience, and the time you can dedicate to maintenance, a variety of planting options are available to suit your needs.
