Fagus sylvatica atropurpurea

Foliage Deciduous
Form Oval
Mature Size 13 x 9m
Family Fagaceae
Copper Beech, Purple Beech

This is an impressive purple-foliage form of the European Beech. A large deciduous tree which makes an excellent shade tree, particularly ideal used as a specimen in larger parks and gardens where its size is best accommodated. This deciduous tree has smooth, grey bark and deep purple foliage which turns a coppery-red in autumn before falling. It has inconspicuous flowers followed by spiny bracts which encase the beechnuts.

A great contrast tree for larger areas, parks and gardens.

Prefers a moist, well drained acidic soil, but can tolerate a little dryness. Will not adapt to excessively wet or compacted soils.
