Weeping Copper Beech
A weeping form of the copper or purple beech, Fagus sylvatica (Atropurpurea Group) Purpurea Pendula is a small, slow-growing, deciduous tree with a cascading, mushroom-shaped habit, suitable for smaller gardens. The wavy-edged, typical beech leaves emerge reddish, turning deep greenish-purple in summer and coppery-bronze in autumn. Insignificant yellow-green flowers are borne in spring, followed by beech-mast (little nuts in spiny cases). Weeping copper beech is an easy-to-grow tree that needs almost no pruning – only prune if the branches get too long and are being damaged, and then prune lightly. Lovely underplanted with spring bulbs.
