Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea Pendula': 'Purpurea Pendula' European Beech: ENH407/ST248, 5/2011

Abstract

Weeping Purple European Beech is more of a shrub than a tree, growing to about 10 feet tall. Branches normally sweep up and away from the center of the tree forming a mound of foliage. It is usually not trained to a central leader but could be trained this way to create a `standard’ type tree. The tree grows slowly, recovers slowly from transplanting and prefers a sunny location and a moist, light soil. Though not a street tree, the tree makes a fine specimen for small landscapes. It is somewhat tolerant of heat and dry soil, but it is best to locate it where it would receive adequate moisture. Original publication date November 1993.
