Product Description
Supplied Size – 60-80cm, 2’+ bare-root transplants.
Copper beech makes a superb, dense hedge of 6′ plus and is very cost effective when planted in the winter as bare-root transplants, half the of the cost of leylandii.
The leaves begin a rich purple colour, darkening over the summer through to a deep bronze over the winter. Beech is deciduous but the leaves are retained over the winter so privacy is maintained.
Fagus atropurpurea hedging is very low maintenance, give the new growth a light trim in June, but be careful to avoid any nesting birds. This can be followed by a heavy trim for form in September or February.
It is best suited to a well drained to dry situation, it will not do well in water logged soils. Plant as bare root transplants, 3 per running metre.
