You don’t
see many of them out there, for they haven’t always been available to us here
in the States. Home to Europe and parts of Asia the Purple Beech can grow in
any zone 5 or 6 area if the authorities allow it their our country, which they
have here.
It is a
very slow growing tree, reaching a height of around 50 feet in fifty years,
with an equal width to match. The planting spot needs to be out in the sun; with
soil requiring only that it is well draining. Water, like any newly planted
tree, should be “hose” accessible for at least the first two years.
Weepers are
also available in this genus, and can be used in more limited areas because of their
genetic makeup. Pruning goes as follows, cut off anything that doesn’t weep
down.
The leaves
seem to come in two different color situations: purplish-burgundy, and a variegated red. Either
one is different, both are unique to the much green that makes up most of our
landscape.

It so beautiful and it will really add a new flavor of design in your garden. I wonder how much it will cost to have this.
