Description

The Purple Fountain Beech is a special form of the European Beech (Fagus sylvatica). This large forest tree has several different forms with purple foliage, but they are almost all large and wide-spreading, and they need a large garden to be appreciated. The variety called ‘Purple Fountain’ was found in the Netherlands, in the 1960s. This selection has an upright habit, so it grows tall and narrow without training. Weeping secondary branches and reddish brown leaves create an outstanding specimen. Full sun. Hardy Zone 5.
