Fagus sylvatica Dawyk The Dawyk Beech from Dawyk in Scotland was discovered about 1850. It forms a tall, tight, upright columnar crown of branches - very effective where space is limited.

Fagus sylvatica Dawyk Purple The purple form of the 'Dawyk' Beech

Quantity: 

Fagus sylvatica Heterophylla The Fern Leaved Beech' many forms including Asplenifolia abound all with the same attractive cut leaf effect of its foliage

Quantity: 

Fagus sylvatica Pendula The Weeping Beech. Another classic tree, makes a magnificent sight either in leaf or during winter when the full effect of its weeping branches can be admired.

Quantity: 

Fagus sylvatica Purpurea

Makes a beautiful large specimen tree or is often seen in hedge form where its purple foliage can be used to great effect. Like its green cousin it dislikes cold wet soils.

Quantity: 

Fagus sylvatica Purpurea Tricolor A very desirable tree, also known as F.s.Roseomarginata which describes perfectly the purple leaves edged with pale rose pink. The marking can be a little bit variable from tree to tree

Quantity: 

Fagus sylvatica Riversii A really good named form of the Purple Beech with really deep black purple foliage. As a specimen Purple Beech this form would be hard to beat.

Quantity: 

Fagus sylvatica Rohanii A pretty purple form of the 'Fern Leaved Beech'

Quantity: 

Fagus sylvatica Zlatia Definitely a tree for the connoisseur. In spring and early summer this slow growing beech produces superb soft yellow foliage. Originated from a tree in the old Yugoslavia.
