PURPLE FOUNTAIN BEECH

Fagus sylvatica 'Purple Fountain' is also known as the Purple Fountain Beech. This slow-growing cultivar has a columnar and cascading habit with weeping branches that drape from an upright leader. It has alternate, simple leaves with wavy margins. Leaves emerge bright purple in late spring and fade with the intensity of the summer sun. Purple Fountain is a sport of the larger Weeping Beech (Pendula). It grows faster than Fagus syl. 'Purpurea Pendula' and has a lighter shade of purple to its leaves. It is an excellent specimen for urban gardens.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape.
