Product Description

50 Green Beech / Fagus Sylvatica Plants 60-90 CM Bare-Rooted 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.

    This is a great nursery !

    Posted by Josephine Smith on 20th Feb 2020

    I have been buying products from this nursery since 2014. My orders always arrive packaged well. The plants are always in very good condition when they arrive. In addition to this product I have bought Thuja Plicata and Escallonia Macrantha Rubra. The plants are of a very generous size, above expectation , well rooted in 9 cm pots and pop into the ground and settle in to the environment instantly. I would not hesitate to recommend these products from this nursery to anyone as I have no reason to doubt the quality. My horticultural friends are envious of my results. I live in the south of the UK.
