Product Description

COPPER /PURPLE BEECH - Fagus Sylvatica Atropurpurea

50 Plants 60-90cm / 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.

 

Often used as a beautiful purple hedge on it's own or mixed in with the Green Beech.

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.Plant 15-45cm(6-18 inches) apart depending on how thick you want your hedge to be.Leaves are purple Spring and Summer then in the Autumn they turn copper brown .These leaves are retained by the plant until Spring when the new leaves grow resulting in a hedge that is never bare.The hedge can be trimmed into any shape or size and will tolerate most conditions including shade and exposed areas.

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

    Beautiful Hedging Plants - excited to watch grow!

    Posted by Jayne Booton on 10th Nov 2021

    Couldn't be happier with these hedging plants, followed instructions and they are now planted and hopefully rooting about and getting comfortable to give us the hedge we hope for in the future. Many thanks for excellent service, will be back for future projects.
