MODERATE DROUGHT TOLERANCE

H: 50FT W: 30FT

The European beech is a stately, long-lived deciduous tree admired for its smooth, silvery-gray bark and wide-spreading form. Its dark green leaves emerge in spring, providing dense summer shade before turning rich shades of russet and gold in fall. Even in winter, its elegant branching structure creates a striking silhouette. While slow to mature, this tree rewards patience with unmatched beauty, making it a standout. It tolerates pruning exceptionally well, allowing it to be shaped into hedges, windbreaks, or even bonsai. The European beech is truly one of the most impressive specimen trees available.
