A magnificent deciduous specimen tree, the foliage bursts into an awesome deep purple in October, the leaves retain this colour until late Autumn when they turn a crunchy brown remaining on the tree throughout Winter. Recommend a light trim in the late spring. For maximum growth plant with a couple of our 12 month slow release fertiliser tablets, and continue to fertilise every 12 months around Spring time with a general fertiliser. 

Fagus sylvatica, commonly known as Copper Beech, is a deciduous tree valued for its attractive copper-colored foliage. It grows up to 15mt tall and prefers well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

Plant it at the same depth as the container, water regularly, and mulch to retain moisture. Prune in late winter to maintain its shape. It is tolerant of different soil types but thrives in slightly acidic soil. Fertilize in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Protect young trees from harsh winds. Enjoy the stunning copper leaves that turn deep purple in autumn, providing a dramatic landscape feature.
