Copper Beech (Hedging)

Make a striking boundary statement with Copper Beech (Hedging), a superb choice for creating a dense, elegant and long-lived garden screen. Its rich purple foliage emerges in spring before deepening through summer, then transforms into warm copper, bronze and russet shades in autumn. Unlike many deciduous hedges, clipped beech typically holds onto its dry leaves throughout winter, providing valuable privacy, shelter and structure when other hedges have become bare. Native to Britain, beech is also an excellent habitat for wildlife and provides useful nesting cover for garden birds. Copper Beech (Hedging) is ideal for formal boundaries, screening and windbreaks, while its dramatic foliage creates a sophisticated backdrop for planting. Hardy and wonderfully versatile, it combines strong structure with outstanding seasonal colour. Ultimate height: 2.5m (8.2ft). Ultimate spread: 1m (3.2ft).
