Description
The ‘Dawyck Purple’ beech tree has a stunning columnar shape and is suitable for a smaller garden due to its upright habit. This tree also looks good in larger gardens, particularly when planted with the golden leaved form ‘Dawyck Gold’. This slow-growing variety of beech prefers to be left alone and does not require regular pruning. The leaves are red in spring and they then develop into a deep purple colour, before finally turning brown in the autumn; the leaves hold on the tree through winter. In order to get the best colour from the foliage of this tree, plant it in a full sun position.
Common Name: Purple Fastigate Beech Tree
Latin Name: Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck Purple’
