Product Description

1 Green Beech / Fagus Sylvatica Plant 60-90 CM, 2-3 ft

 

These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.

 

Beech is most commonly available as the species with bright green leaves in spring that darken towards summer before turning copper in the autumn, they then turn brown over winter if they are retained which only happens when used as hedging, large tree forms lose most or all of the leaves in the winter.

It also takes very well to being grown as a hedging plant producing superb hedges that can be used in formal or informal settings. Beech hedges make effective windbreaks and sort of span the evergreen / deciduous boundary as whereas they are deciduous, they retain the dead leaves on the branches through the winter until they are pushed off by new shoots in the spring time. They are not completely bare and twiggy therefore when grown as a hedge.

Beech can be planted as a single specimen tree which will grow to a maximum height of 30 metres but it will shed its leaves in Autumn.

    Looking good

    Posted by Jamie Harrower on 11th Jan 2025

    First impressions were of shock. I was a little surprised, when the postman handed me the trees, at just how little protection they had as there were only wrapped in clingfilm. There is the odd broken branch or two and the top 8 to 10 inches was bent over but other than that they look to be nice, strong, healthy trees. At time of delivery we are in the midst of winter so there was only a few leaves on them, but plenty of health looking buds. These trees will be used as bonsai so I'll wire the tops to straighten them up until I decide how they will be shaped and displayed.
