Dawycki Purple European Beech

The Dawycki Purple European Beech is a striking, upright variety of European Beech known for its narrow, columnar form and rich purple foliage. Reaching a height of 30 feet with a width of just 10-12 feet, it’s ideal for tight spaces or as a vertical accent in landscapes. The leaves emerge a deep, reddish-purple in spring, turning to a more muted purple-green in summer and holding their color well into fall. The tree’s smooth, silvery-gray bark provides additional year-round interest. Thriving in USDA zones 4-7, it prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and full sun to partial shade. Low-maintenance and versatile, the Dawycki Purple Beech is perfect for adding color, texture, and vertical structure to gardens, streetscapes, or as a specimen tree.
