European Beech 'Dawyck Purple', Common Beech 'Dawyck Purple'
A strong vertical element in the landscape, Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck Purple’ (European Beech) is a magnificent, medium-sized, deciduous tree of columnar habit with broadly elliptic, lustrous, dark purple leaves. They emerge deep reddish-purple in spring and darken to burgundy purple as the season progresses. The smooth, pale gray bark is truly stunning in the winter landscape. In mid-late spring, small, inconspicuous, yellow-green flowers are on display. They are followed by bristly fruits which ripen in the fall. This purple-leaved European Beech makes a striking and beautiful specimen tree.
