      Why plant Dawyck Purple European Beech?

      Well, hello handsome! The Dawyck Purple European Beech is a tall, slim, exceedingly good-looking specimen tree with rich royal purple leaves that hold their color all season. Dawyck Purple European Beech will enchant you with changing foliage throughout the year. In spring, the leaves emerge a radiant burgundy-red color, eventually becoming a deep, dark purple. When the weather turns frosty, the foliage takes on amber tones before dropping to reveal the smooth, gray, muscly bark that Beeches are famous for.

      European Beech, native to much of Europe, has been revered by gardeners for centuries. Over the years, countless novel forms have arisen, with purple, gold, variegated, or copper foliage, and with columnar, weeping, contorted, or other distinctive habits. Dawyck Purple is a relative youngster among these, having originated in 1969. In that year, the Director of the Trompenburg Arboretum in the Netherlands, Dick van Hoey Smith, collected Beech nuts from a green-leaved columnar Beech called Dawyck. Out of the one hundred seedlings that he grew, four had purple leaves, and one of these he named Dawyck Purple.

      How to use Dawyck Purple European Beech in the landscape?

      This columnar accent tree rises straight and true, and will stand like a sentinel in your landscape. Employ it as a dramatic focal point in a mixed border, or place a pair of trees strategically to frame a distant view. A row of Dawyck Purple Beeches planted closely together will create in time a luxe seasonal privacy screen without equal. Whatever you do, give this long-lived legacy tree a premium spot in the landscape, because it will be turning heads for generations to come.

      How To Plant Dawyck Purple European Beech

      Choose a sunny site for your Dawyck Purple European Beech, as shade will turn the leaves bronzy green or green. Good drainage is essential, but don’t allow the tree to dry out completely, especially during the initial period of establishment. Irrigate then with the Bower & Branch Elements™ Watering System to supply just the right amount of moisture. This is a shallow-rooted tree, so it is important to mulch well to help keep the root zone cool and moist. Its thin bark is vulnerable to damage, so keep lawn equipment well away from the trunk. Dawyck Purple is in other respects a trouble-free, low-maintenance tree that will add value to your property, becoming more impressive each year.

      How Does Shipping Work?

      Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

      *For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

      Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

      Shipping Delays:

      From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

      How Does Sizing Work?

      The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

      Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

      All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
