This beautiful purple-leaved specimen, with its weeping branches is a highlight in any landscape. Creative pruning and staking can be done to expose its irregular growth habit, giving it more visual appeal. Purple Fountain beech maintains a leader without staking.
European beech thrives in a rich, moist, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade.
