Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This beech grows about 20 to 30 feet tall and 20 feet or more wide. It has a weeping, irregular form, but it still gets tall as it maintains a central leader. Leaves are dark green with wavy margins; leaves turn golden yellow in the fall. Insignificant yellow spring flowers are followed by little nuts much enjoyed by birds.
