Fagus sylvatica Purple, also known as the purple beech, is a deciduous tree that is highly valued for its beautiful deep purple leaves, which turn a brighter shade of red-purple in the autumn. The tree produces small flowers in spring, but they are not particularly showy. The leaves are the main attraction of this tree, providing a striking contrast against green foliage in a garden.
Why we like it:
- The purple beech provides a unique and eye-catching color contrast in any garden.
- This tree is easy to grow and care for, making it a great choice for novice gardeners.
- The leaves of the purple beech can be used to make natural dyes, providing an additional creative use for this beautiful plant.
What to know:
- The purple beech prefers well-draining, moist soil and partial to full sun exposure.
- Regular pruning can help maintain the tree's shape and promote new growth.
- While the purple beech is generally low maintenance, it is susceptible to some diseases and pests, so keep an eye out for any signs of damage or infestation.
- The tree is not particularly fast-growing, but it can reach heights of up to 20 meters in ideal conditions.
- The purple beech is best planted in the autumn or winter, while the tree is dormant.
Height and Spread:
- When fully grown, the purple beech can reach a height of up to 20 meters and a spread of up to 5 meters.
