Fagus Sylvatica | Bare Root

A magestic tree for a large garden. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soil Rate of growth: quite fast-growing Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy If allowed to grow naturally, this majestic plant will grow to make a tall, spreading tree, but it is also well suited (and much sought after) for hedging. Its wavy-edged green leaves emerge from bud covered with silky hairs, but soon turn a glossy dark green – and then, in autumn, it takes on yellowish-brown tones as it dies back. This foliage however is often retained throughout the winter, only dropping when the new growth emerges the following spring. Please note: This is sent out as a bare root plant, and it should be planted out as soon as possible after delivery. Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole. Requires minimal pruning.
