About Fagus Syl. Dawyck Feathered 8/10cm Girth Root Ball Delivery November Onwards

Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck’ – Upright Columnar Beech

Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck’ is a striking deciduous tree known for its tall, narrow columnar habit and deep green foliage. Its elegant vertical form makes it perfect for avenues, narrow spaces, or as a specimen tree in gardens and landscapes.

Combining year-round structure, seasonal colour, and low-maintenance growth, this cultivar delivers ornamental and architectural interest in a compact footprint.

Why Grow Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck’?

3. Hardy & Resilient
Tolerant of a variety of UK soils, frost, wind, and urban conditions.

4. Multi-Season Interest
