Purple Beech Tree | Fagus sylvatica ‘Purple Fountain’
- A distinctive purple beech with a tall, slender central leader, branches that weep wavily downwards, and deep purple foliage
- The rich purple leaves take on a coppery hue in the autumn. Thanks to its striking form, the tree provides great visual interest even in the winter months
- A fully hardy tree that can withstand temperatures down to -20°C
- ‘Purple Fountain’ holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, meaning it’s been recommended by the organisation
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth
