The new foliage of this relatively compact (for a beech), columnar tree emerges bright yellow before maturing to fresh green. As the tree ages, Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck Gold' forms a gorgeous taper-like shape, that makes it ideal for planting each side of a large garden entrance. It also makes a magnificent stand-alone specimen in the lawn, and like all beeches, it can tolerate a wide range of soils - including chalk.
Plant out as soon as possible, incorporating some well-rotted garden compost or horse manure into the planting hole. Firm the soil around the roots and stake firmly. Water in well and continue to water frequently during the following growing season.
After flowering in late spring or early summer, lightly cut back any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant and apply a generous 5–7cm (2–3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
