Product Description

1 plant in a 5ltr pot

A British native tree with wavy margined leaves, pale at first, turning glossy dark green, then yellow to orange-brown in autumn. Suitable for any size, formal or free-growing hedge or as a specimen/pleached tree. Excellent autumn colour. It is deciduous but, when grown as a hedge, retains the dry leaves throughout winter, creating an all year-round screen. Beech is tolerant of many soils, including chalk, although it doesn't like wet clays (where hornbeam may be a better bet). As a specimen tree, beech will reach an eventual height of 30ft+, but can be kept between 3-12ft if pruned as a hedge. It can be planted in single or staggered rows, and either solely as a beech hedge, or mixed with other native hedging plants such as Hornbeam.

 

Recommended planting distance: 1ft apart in single rows, or 5 per metre in a staggered row

Hardiness: Fully Hardy

Suitable for: Single species hedge, part of a mixed native hedge

Features: Easy to trim and shape, keeps old leaves over winter, autumn colour
