Fagus sylvatica (Green Beech)

Fagus sylvatica (Green Beech) is a revered hedge plant, native to the British Isles and renowned for its striking seasonal changes and versatility.

This deciduous plant produces fresh green leaves in spring and summer, which then turn to a rich, burnished copper in the winter, adding year-round interest to any garden. What sets Fagus sylvatica apart is its ability to retain its coppery leaves through winter, ensuring consistent screening and privacy until new foliage emerges in spring.

It is well-suited to a variety of soil types, particularly chalky or shallow soils over limestone, though it should be kept out of heavy clay or very wet areas. This readybag pallet of 5 units is perfect for larger projects where uniform, instant hedging is desired. Green Beech can be shaped into a formal hedge with regular trimming, providing a timeless and elegant backdrop for any garden design.

he Royal Horticultural Society recognized its excellence with an Award of Garden Merit in 1984, underscoring its value as a reliable and beautiful hedging option.

The Guinness World Records notes that the tallest beech hedge on earth is the Meikleour beech hedge in Scotland standing at 30 metres tall and 530 metres long and was planted in 1745.
