This majestic native tree is a favourite for creating crisp, formal hedging. The foliage emerges a fresh, vibrant green in spring, darkening slightly in summer before turning a rich copper-bronze in autumn. One of its most valuable qualities is that it retains its dry, brown leaves throughout the winter, offering year-round screening and wind protection until new growth pushes them off in the following spring.
It works beautifully as a standalone specimen or a structured hedge. For a striking two-tone effect, plant it mixed with the purple-leaved Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea'. It thrives in sunny or partially shaded spots with free-draining soil. To ensure the plant establishes a strong root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To promote vigorous and healthy growth, apply Levington Fish, Blood & Bone in early spring.
