Fagus ‘Purple Copper Beech’ Weeping (Fagus sylvatica purpurea Pendula)

Description

An absolute must-have in any large garden, the magnificent Weeping Copper Beech. The strange weeping habit of this particular beech creates a quirky interest where you’ll find yourself staring at it for hours.

The rich purple leaves appear in spring against a mottled grey trunk. In autumn the large round leaves turn reddish/orange.

The Copper Beech tolerates full sun to part shade, however, in the Victorian climate it would benefit from afternoon summer shading. Grows best in well-drained, loamy soil and is considered a slow-growing tree.
