Height

Fagus sylvatica atropurpurea - Copper Beech is a vibrant and stunning variety of Beech that forms a very large specimen tree in a parkland setting. Very eye catching and perfectly suited for hedge planting either on its own or mixed with Green Beech.

Smooth, silver grey bark. Deep purple leaves in the Spring and Summer turning yellow then copper in autumn. The leaves are retained on the plant during the winter if the plant is maintained as a hedge. If you are comparing Beech or Hornbeam for hedging and you have damp soil and or you are in a cold exposed area then we would suggest using Hornbeam.

WHAT TYPE OF TREE SHELTER DO I NEED?

If protection is required for the Fagus sylvatica atropurpurea - Copper Beech then you may wish to consider a ventilated shelter such as the Tubex Combitube or Tubex Treeguard which is an open mesh guard. Both options will provide an open, airy environment which is preferred by Beech.

Find out more about the benefits of tree shelters and information on sizing on our Tree Shelter Guide page.

WEED CONTROL AND MULCHING

Don't forget that good weed control around newly planted trees and shrubs is vital to reduce moisture stress and competition. This will improve plant survival and enhance growth.

You may prefer to use our range of mulch mats and pegs, including our 100% biodegradable BioJute Mulch Mat, in order to avoid having to spray herbicide.

Give your plants the best start possible by using our professional Controlled Release Fertiliser granules when planting.
