Fagus – aka deciduous Beech. An ole English favourite for living colour!

Beech, available in upright or weeping forms, comes in a spectacular range of colours – greens, golds, bronze and copper. In April and May as the tree prepares for winter the leaves display a wonderful array of brilliant reds, oranges and golds before they fall.

The Beech is a slow growing tree, that will grow in most NZ conditions.
