Planting & Care

Offers a vibrant, shifting palette of colour throughout the year.
Showcases deep purple leaves in spring and summer, which transform into rich copper and burgundy tones for autumn.
A fast-growing, fully hardy hedge that can be easily maintained at any height between 1-5m.
Creates an excellent, dense windbreak, thriving in most well-drained soils.
Provides year-round screening, holding onto its crisp, coppery winter leaves until new growth emerges in spring.

Species: Beech
Features: Native to UK, Autumn colour
Flower Colour: Insignificant yellow-green flowers in spring
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, loamy soils but will tolerate less than perfect conditions.
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C).
Habit: A bushy shrub with several shoots, ideal for hedging.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 2-3m unless pruned.
Growth Rate: Fast growing, expect 40-60cm per year.

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round, except in November. When planting, if your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit to improve drainage.
Bare Root Care: Our bare root plants are lifted fresh and packed straight away. In winter, you can store them for several weeks if kept in a cool, dark spot. In spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
Pruning: An established beech hedge is best pruned in late summer. August is the ideal time, as this allows the plants to recover before winter. A light tidy-up can also be done in June if needed.
Pests & Diseases: Good general resistance. Aphids and beech bark scale may occasionally be a problem. May be affected by coral spot.
