Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea' boasts stunning shades of purple and green foliage during spring/summer, and will hold onto most of its coppery leaves during winter.
We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking wonderfully new and healthy.
Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea' stands out amongst the crowd with its gorgeous, bright purple and green shades during Spring and Summer, and a stunning copper colour in the Autumn. Even though Copper Beech is deciduous, it will surprisingly keep some of its lovely foliage during Winter, too!Purple Beech can grow into a dense hedge, and grows well in full sun and partial shade, as well as being able to tolerate most soil types. It can reach an ultimate height of 6m.
As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days or weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well watered and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.
Copper Beech is quite a low-maintenance plant, and if you look after it properly, it should only need a prune once/twice a year. You can tidy the plant up in June, but we highly recommend sticking to trimming your Beech in late Summer- i.e., August. This will give the hedge enough time to recover and re-grow before Winter.
You can easily hard prune Copper Beech as it has a relatively fast growth rate and can quickly recover itself.

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
