This is for top quality, certified and fully plant passported bare root Purple Beech (Fagus Sylvatica Atropunicea)
Purple Beech is a wonderful choice for a hedge. With large purple leaves in Spring and Summer turning to a rich copper in Autumn, they offer privacy and reduce noise.
Purple Beech keeps its leaves on the plant over winter and we refer to it as semi-evergreen. It is non thorny and wildlife friendly – providing great habitat for birds and insects.
Purple Beech will grow up to 30cm per year and can be trimmed into a nice tight hedge – we recommend you trim once a year in Autumn to keep the foliage dense.
All you need to do is simply choose the height of the plants you want to plant now and the number of plants you need.
We recommend 5 plants per metre in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge, but you can get away with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don’t mind waiting an extra year or two to form a thick hedge.
· Semi – evergreen
· Leaves turn copper brown in Autumn but will remain until Spring
· For any Soil Type – easy to grow
· Full sun to partial shade
· Hardy and Low Maintenance
· Trim once a year in Autumn
· Wildlife friendly
For best results plant with Rootgrow gel – it increases the growth rate by up to 50% and really helps the plants establish.
Keep them well watered – especially in the Spring and Summer in the first year of planting.
