Fagus sylvatica “European Beech” - PLEACHED FULL STANDARD (180-200cm clear stem)

Fagus sylvatica, commonly known as the European Beech, is a majestic deciduous tree prized for its elegant form and fine textured foliage. Well suited to a range of garden settings, Fagus sylvatica brings architectural presence and seasonal interest, making it a compelling choice as a standalone specimen, boundary tree, or pleached feature. These trees develop a strong upright trunk with a broad, spreading canopy of fresh green leaves in spring and summer that turn rich shades of copper and gold in autumn. A traditional favourite in formal and informal landscapes, European Beech combines refined structure with year-round impact — especially when planted in lines or mixed with other garden trees. Fagus sylvatica thrives in fertile, well-drained soils and enhances borders, avenues, and larger garden spaces with its graceful silhouette and seasonal colour.
