Planting & Care

Enjoy a vibrant display of colour throughout the year with this stunning deciduous hedge.
Watch as deep purple leaves in spring and summer transform into rich copper and burgundy tones for autumn.
Offers year-round screening, as it cleverly holds onto its coppery winter leaves until fresh spring growth emerges.
A fast-growing and fully hardy choice, easily trimmed to create a perfect hedge from 1 to 5 metres high.
Provides an excellent, dense windbreak and thrives in most well-drained soils.

Species: Beech
Features: Native to UK, Autumn colour
Flowering: Insignificant yellow-green flowers in spring
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C)
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Will tolerate most conditions except heavy clay.
Habit: Bushy, forming a dense hedge
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 2-3m unless pruned
Growth Rate: Fast, expect 40-60cm per year

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round, except for November.
Spacing: For a dense hedge, plant 3-5 plants per metre.
Watering: Water well when newly planted and during dry spells.
Feeding: A low-maintenance plant that gets its nutrients from the soil; feeding is not required.
Pruning: Prune established hedges in late summer (August is ideal). A light tidy-up can be done in June if needed.
Pests & Diseases: Good resistance, but aphids and beech bark scale may be a problem. May be affected by coral spot.
