Description

A rare selection of beech tree with very stiffly weeping branches which are clothed in rich purple leaves. These are 2.4 m standard trees with a weeping head and make an elegant but slow growing tree which has a pendulous habit and will eventually form a curtain of foliage around the main stem. The slow growing nature and weeping habit makes this suitable for most garden sizes!
