Green Beech – Fagus sylvatica is a majestic native tree that brings classic beauty to gardens throughout the seasons. The leaves emerge in spring with a bright lime-green flush, edged with silky hairs, maturing to deep green as summer progresses. This fresh foliage creates wonderful dappled shade beneath, perfect for woodland planting. It grows into a broad, spreading tree with smooth grey bark that adds winter interest. The summer canopy is dense and cooling, offering a perfect shaded retreat. Autumn brings a spectacular display as the leaves turn golden-brown, many staying on the tree through winter. Young trees grow quite quickly, developing the classic broad beech crown that makes such a wonderful garden feature. Though it can become large with age, regular pruning can maintain a more manageable size.
Plant your Green Beech in any well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. It adapts to most soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Water thoroughly in the first two growing seasons until established. After that, it only needs watering during prolonged dry spells. Add a layer of mulch in spring, keeping it away from the trunk. If you need to control the size, prune in late summer rather than winter or early spring when the tree may ‘bleed’ sap.
