Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea Pendula' Tree
Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea Pendula' is a small weeping Purple Beech tree. Unlike most other Fagus, this variety will grow to a height and spread of only 3 x 3 metres in 20 years and so is perfect for small spaces. Cascading, pendulous branches are smothered in red foliage in spring, turning deep purple/green in summer and then bronze and gold in the autumn.
This easy to grow, attractive small Beech variety will grow in a range of conditions and is easy to fit in practically any sized garden. Exposure isn’t a problem for Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea Pendula' and it will grow in full sun or partial shade, although full sun gives the very best foliage colour. Just avoid very wet soils.
