Description

European Beeches are beautiful specimen trees with dense growth creating a formal outline. The stout trunk has smooth gray bark that gives stunning winter interest. Slow growing, preferring fertile, well-drained soils. Site with late afternoon shade to protect the leaves from scorching in extreme afternoon heat. Purple Fountain has a narrow, upright trunk and loosely cascading branches. Bronze-purple leaves hold their color well into summer.
