Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck Gold' - Golden Upright Beech 3 Litre Pot

Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck Gold'

A striking columnar beech offering a glowing display of golden foliage through the seasons, ideal where space is limited but impact is desired.

Seasonal Highlights

Spring brings radiant golden-yellow new leaves that soften to lime-green through summer. Autumn sees a return to warm butter-yellow before leaves turn bronze and are often retained through winter, providing structure and rustle.

Key Features

• Narrow, upright columnar habit ideal for tight spaces
• Brilliant golden-yellow spring foliage
• Lime-green summer leaves and warm autumn colour
• Retains russet-brown leaves through winter
• Fully hardy and drought-tolerant once established

Perfect For

Outstanding as a focal point in borders, formal gardens, or lining driveways. Excellent for creating height without spread in smaller gardens or urban settings.

Growing Tips

Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in full sun for best colour. Tolerates chalk and clay soils. Requires minimal pruning. Mulch in spring and water during prolonged dry spells in the first few years. Best colour in sunnier positions.

Looks Great With

Complements purple-leaved plants like Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea, evergreen Taxus, and underplanted with Geranium or Alchemilla mollis.

An exceptional tree that combines elegant form with dazzling seasonal colour.
