Beech (Fagus sylvatica) offers a versatile addition to landscapes with its smooth grey bark and dense, attractive foliage. Known for both Green and Copper varieties, it brings vibrant colours and adds structure to gardens. The lush green leaves of Green Beech contrast beautifully with the deep purple hues of Copper Beech, making these varieties ideal for formal and naturalistic settings alike.
Beech grows in various forms, providing flexibility for different designs. Full Standard trees feature a tall, straight trunk and a rounded canopy, giving height and structure to any garden. Half Standard trees, with shorter trunks, offer a compact option, while still maintaining elegance. Pleached trees create a unique architectural feature, offering privacy through a rectangular canopy perched on a tall, clear trunk. In contrast, Feathered trees provide a softer, more natural look, with branches growing from the base upwards. Multi Stem varieties bring an organic feel with multiple trunks that add depth to landscapes, often as focal points in contemporary or woodland designs.
Beech provides year-round interest, whether through its dense foliage, vibrant seasonal colours, or elegant structure. These trees suit various soil types and offer excellent privacy when pruned for hedging. Their adaptability to different garden styles, coupled with their ease of care, makes them a smart choice for those looking for both function and beauty.
