The foliage of this impressive beech is a rich reddish-purple, so it makes a stunning accent or feature plant in the garden. Having a naturally slim and upright silhouette, Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck Purple' forms a column of colour that will add height, form and colour - even in relatively small spaces.
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.
