Visual Characteristics:

The Common Beech Tree will bring a splash of majestic beauty and life to your outdoor space. With branches that span an impressive width of up to 30m when fully mature, the Common Beech will bring a sense of grandeur to your garden.

It is also regularly used as a hedge, offering constant foliage until the fresh, new Spring buds release the previous year’s flora. This unique feature provides year-round shelter for local and rare wildlife alike.

Whether grown over 4 or 400 years, if left untrimmed, the Common Beech can reach a magnificent height of up to 40m (more commonly 25m). The oval-shaped leaves of the Common Beech are 4-9cm long and have a pointed tip with wavy edges. Its vibrant green leaves in Spring give way to darker leaves in Summer, bringing you a beautiful seasonal display of luscious abundance, whilst leaving some remaining foliage on the hedge in the winter. Therefore, the Common Beech serves as either a stunning tree or a unique hedge.
