Fagus sylvatica

Fagus sylvatica, commonly known as the European Beech, is a majestic deciduous tree native to Europe. It boasts a dense, pyramidal shape that makes it a popular choice for hedging and pleaching. The tree's new leaves emerge with a silky sheen in a pale green hue, maturing to a dark green as the season progresses. In autumn, the foliage turns a stunning yellow, eventually browning in winter before shedding to make way for new growth. This versatile tree is well-suited for various soil types including clay, wet and dry soils, and can withstand windy conditions. With a 10-year height and width projection of 10m and 6m respectively, this tree is an excellent choice for both small and large gardens.

Whether you're looking to create a natural screen, add some shade or simply bring a touch of elegance to your garden, the Fagus sylvatica is a reliable and beautiful option. The European Beech is not just a tree; it's an investment in a lifetime of beautiful autumns and lush, green summers.
