Planting & Care

Offers a vibrant display of colour, with purple and green leaves in spring and summer, transforming to rich copper and burgundy in autumn.
Uniquely holds onto its coppery winter leaves, providing screening and interest until new spring growth emerges.
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.
Native to the UK, providing a wonderful habitat for wildlife.

Species: Beech
Features: Native to UK, Autumn colour
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, December
Flower Colour: Insignificant yellow-green flowers in spring
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: Bushy. This shrub has several shoots rather than a single stem.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 2-3m unless pruned
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C)
Growth Rate: Fast growing, expect 40-60cm per year

Soil Type: Prefers any well-drained, fertile soil. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage. Avoid heavy clay or exposed windy areas.
Pruning: Prune an established beech hedge in late summer. August is the ideal time, as it allows the plants to recover before winter. A light trim can be done in June if needed.
Pest & Disease: Good pest and disease resistance. Aphids and beech bark scale may be a problem. May be affected by coral spot.
