Rootballed Fagus sylvatica ‘Atropunicea’
Purple Beech Hedging
A distinctive UK native Beech hedge with rich purple foliage, beautiful autumn colour and copper-brown leaves that are often retained through winter on regularly clipped hedges.
Fagus sylvatica ‘Atropunicea’, commonly known as Purple Beech or Copper Beech, provides the elegant structure and excellent clipping qualities of traditional Beech with the added impact of deep purple to bronze-purple foliage. It creates a particularly attractive alternative to conventional green hedging and works equally well in traditional and contemporary gardens.
Although deciduous, regularly clipped Purple Beech hedges commonly retain much of their dry copper-brown foliage through winter. This provides valuable seasonal screening and structure before the new foliage emerges in spring.

Why Buy Rootballed Purple Beech?
Rootballed Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’ is field-grown and lifted with a substantial ball of soil retained around its root system.
This allows larger, established Purple Beech plants to be supplied economically and is particularly useful where greater initial height, structure and more immediate boundary definition are required.
Available Sizes
Rootballed Purple Beech is available in a range of heights, subject to seasonal nursery availability.
Larger plants provide greater immediate structure and screening, while smaller sizes can offer an economical solution for longer hedge runs.
How Many Plants Do I Need?
Plant spacing depends upon the size selected and the density of hedge you would like to create.
Our hedging guide will help you calculate the appropriate number of plants for the length of your proposed hedge.
