Fagus Sylv. ‘Dawyck Purple’

A fastigiate form of the common beech. New foliage emerges red in the spring turns a beautiful deep purple in the summer and then brown in the autumn. A beautiful neatly shaped slender tree that grows to just 10 x 3 metres in 20 years, making it ideal for many gardens, whether as a focal point or for a formal avenue. Will tolerate most soils and exposed conditions, but avoid wet positions. Plant in full sun for the very best colour.
