Vivid color, unique form and space-saving size, this is an incredible focal point to punch up a weary yard!

Wide, arching and pendulous growth that hangs like a Willow, sweeping the ground and swaying in the breeze, each of the slender gray branches seem to shimmer in the sunlight! Densely covered in glossy plum-purple leaves, each featuring pronounced veins and toothy edges. Set off by the light gray bark, these gorgeous specimens have such a magical form that they appear to have stepped out of a fairy tale!

Those glossy purple leaves have a golden hue underlying the purple, and when the sun hits them or sun shines through, they just shine! Purple Weeping Beech trees are deciduous trees that also have incredible golden umber fall color! Hardy to USDA growing zones 4-8, these trees have inconspicuous flowers in the spring and tiny, spiky seeds in fall. Don't worry about any mess however, birds come to take care of these seeds for you!

Planting and Application:

The classic ornamental that's sure to turn heads, these are perfect focal points for front yard landscaping. Beech trees are lovely stand-alone accents, and are low-maintenance sculptural works of art! Sure to get the entire neighborhood ogling! Plant one on a berm to further set it apart from your other landscaping and let those amazing branches sweep over the ground, swaying and swinging in the breeze.

Purple Weeping Beech are slower growing and won't overpower your space, nor do they need much in the way of care. They pretty much take care of themselves once established and they're long-lived trees too! Ideal for Asian and Zen-style gardens, rock gardens, or as the crowning jewel rising above a pond or water feature, they're the perfect focal point at the end of a path or adorning a destination garden! Don't be sad to see winter arrive either! Once those leaves have dropped, you'll be able to enjoy the smooth gray bark and weeping bare branches as the snows alight upon them all winter!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Ornamentals like these cascading Beech trees need full sun to look their best and have the best color! Plant in enriched, moderately moist soil that's well-drained and has moisture access in the hot dry summers. Provide a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist bark chips that extend out past the branches to prevent mud and dirt from splashing onto them and keeping them clean. Minimal pruning is needed and should be done in the late winter or very early spring.

• Full Sun
• Moderate Consistent Moisture
• Well-Drained Enriched Soil
• Prune Rarely When Dormant
• Mulch Site Well
