Planting & Care

Offers a stunning display of vibrant colour throughout the year.
Deep purple and green leaves in spring and summer transform to rich copper and burgundy in autumn.
A fast-growing, fully hardy hedge that can be easily maintained at any height between 1-5m.
Creates an effective windbreak and thrives in most well-drained soils.
Uniquely, it holds onto its coppery winter leaves, providing screening and interest until new spring growth emerges.

Species: Beech
Features: Native to UK, Autumn colour
Flowering: Insignificant yellow-green flowers in spring
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Hardiness: H6 - hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C)
Soil Type: Any well-drained, fertile soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers loamy soils.
Habit: Bushy, with several shoots forming a dense shrub.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 2-3m unless pruned.
Growth Rate: Fast growing, expect 40-60cm per year.

Planting Time: Can be planted from January to October. For bare roots, plant within a few days of arrival in spring, or store in a cool, dark spot for several weeks in winter.
Soil Preparation: If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage.
Pruning: Prune an established hedge in late summer (August is ideal). A light trim can also be done in June if it’s looking messy.
Pests & Diseases: Good pest and disease resistance. Aphids and beech bark scale may be a problem. May be affected by coral spot.
