FAGUS SYL FASTIGIATA

FAGUS SYL FASTIGIATA
Grower Notes:

The Fagus sylvatica 'Fastigiata' is commonly known as the Upright European Beech. This upright selection has a distinctive, extremely narrow, columnar habit that can be confused with Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyckii'. The Fastigiata has glossy, dark green foliage that emerges light green and matures copper-bronze in fall. Its smooth, silver-gray bark adds an attractive winter interest while the beechnuts that fall in autumn provide ample food for wildlife during winter.

The Fastigiata Beech thrives in full to part sun in evenly moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. It does not tolerate standing water or wet sites.
