About Big Deal Copper Beech Hedging Bare Root 100/125cm x 100 Delivery from November

Fagus sylvatica purpurea – Copper Beech Hedging 100/125cm Bare Root

Copper Beech (Fagus sylvatica purpurea) is a striking choice for hedging, bringing year-round elegance and rich colour to the garden. In spring, young leaves emerge a fresh, deep purple, maturing to a lustrous dark copper through summer. In autumn, the foliage glows with russet and bronze before many leaves remain dry and coppery on the branches well into winter, ensuring seasonal screening and structure.

Copper Beech is perfect for formal or decorative hedging, offering the same dense, easily maintained growth as green beech but with dramatic purple tones. It thrives in most well-drained soils and responds well to regular clipping, forming a neat, sophisticated hedge.

Why Choose Copper Beech Hedging?

  • Year-Round Interest – Purple spring and summer foliage, copper autumn tones, and winter leaf retention.

  • Elegant & Formal – A refined alternative to green beech.

  • Versatile & Hardy – Thrives in most well-drained soils and sites.

  • Dense Growth – Easily clipped to a neat, formal hedge.

Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to partial shade (best colour in sun).

  • Soil: Any well-drained soil; avoid very wet or waterlogged ground.

  • Planting Distance: 3–4 plants per metre in a single row, or 5–7 per metre in a staggered double row.

  • Watering: Keep watered until established.

  • Pruning: Trim in late summer for a dense, tidy hedge.
