Fagus Sylvatica ‘Asplenifolia’

This fern leafed beech is a beautiful pyramidal shape when young, maturing to a round headed open topped tree with smooth grey bark. It has slender dark green leaves with four paired lobes along the length. Could reach 10 or 15metres in height. Golden autumn colour.

Better in a sheltered position on well drained soil in sun or light shade.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
