Fagus sylvatica 'Fastigiata' (Columnar European Beech)


Michael's Opinion

A class European tree that reaches a height of 15m. Its dark green leaves may be retained into the winter months turning paper bag brown with frost. In mild winters they may remain on the tree until pushed off by the emerging buds in spring. As the height dictates, this large but slow growing form requires room for its true potential to be realized.
