Tree

Fagus sylvatica 'Purple Fountain'

Plant Type: Tree

This interesting decidous tree of pendulous habit and eye-catching purple foliage definitely draws attention in the landscape. Foliage is purple in spring, turning to bronzy-green later in summer. Slow growing. The narrow columnar shape makes this tree an excellent focal point or specimen tree for the smaller urban garden where color is desired.
