Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Notes

This weeping form of European Beech forms a mounded, rounded mushroom-shaped dome. Leaves emerge deep purple in the spring, turning bronzy to purple-green in the summer, and coppery orange in the fall. Slow growing to 10 to 12 feet tall and 12 to 15 feet wide, or more.
