Practical Instant Hedge™ Purple Beech
A Purple (also known as Copper) Beech Instant Hedge (Fagus sylvatica ‘Atropunicea’) is very distinctive with its dark green/purple leaves turning red/brown in the autumn and often remaining throughout the winter months. It has been used by many designers, to create a stunning bespoke hedge.
This instant hedge is happy on most soils and thrives in chalk and is comfortable in either sun or shade but dislikes seaside or wet locations.
We have this Instant Hedge currently available at 1.2/1.4m high and 1.8m high as a Practical Instant Hedge.
A Purple Beech hedge is slow growing (10 – 30cm/year) and will need pruning once a year, preferably in August.
