Fagus Sylvatica Dawyck Purple European Beech is a medium-sized, deciduous tree with a columnar growth habit. From mid to late spring, inconspicuous, yellow-green, small blossoms appear on the tree. Dawyck Purple European Beech is an excellent choice for specimen plantings and hedges. It bears bristly fruits that ripen in fall. Broadly elliptical, dark purple, glossy leaves emerge deep reddish-purple in spring and turn burgundy-purple with age. This shade tree grows best in rich, moist, deep, well-drained soils under full sun or part shade. It also showcases attractive, smooth, pale gray bark.
