Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’ – Purple beech 1.5-1.75m tall
Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’ is a large, stunning, deciduous tree. Purple beech for sale!
It has deep purple, ovate leaves that turn to seasonal shades of copper and red in autumn.
These leaves hold nearly all winter before dropping.
Often grown as a standalone tree, Purple beech is ideal as a specimen in larger gardens, parkland and woodland.
The habit of holding some leaf after autumn, creates a year round screen to provide good coverage even in the winter months.
Purple beech is tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soils, but avoid heavy clay. If planting in clay soil, consider Hornbeam as an alternative.

Trim in summer to thicken the foliage and create a beautiful, dense hedge.
