Copper Beech 'Dawyck Purple'

A more narrow and upright copper beech than the usual tree. The ‘dawyck purple’ will grow to approx 20 metres with much less of a spread giving a columnar aspect.

Grown for their habit, foliage and autumn colour. Brief and tiny flowers appear in late spring followed by fruit which ripens in autumn to release edible nuts. A fully hardy deciduous tree, this purple copper beech does prefer the sun and will grow in most soils. The leaves are oval and wavy-margined, turning a rich copper in autumn. Suitable as an ornamental tree or as hedging.
