Fagus sylvatica Purpurea pendula, commonly known as Weeping Purple Beech, is a deciduous tree with a striking dark purple foliage. The leaves of the tree are narrow, deeply-lobed and have a glossy texture. The tree is slow-growing and can reach a height of up to 10 metres. It is often used as an ornamental tree in gardens and parks due to its attractive foliage.
Why we like it:
- Striking purple foliage adds visual interest to any garden or landscape.
- Slow growth rate makes it a low-maintenance tree.
- Provides excellent shade during summer months.
What to know:
- The tree prefers well-drained soil and partial shade to full sun exposure.
- Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its weeping habit and prevent it from becoming too tall or wide.
- The tree does not produce any significant flowers or fruits, and its primary ornamental value is derived from its foliage.
- It is relatively resistant to pests and diseases, but can be susceptible to aphids and spider mites.
- The best time to prune the tree is in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
Height and Spread: The Fagus sylvatica Purpurea pendula can grow up to a height of 10 meters with a spread of 4-6 meters when fully grown.
