Fagus sylvatica ‘Asplenifolia’ (Fernleaf Beech) Tree

Fagus sylvatica ‘Asplenifolia’
Fernleaf Beech

Fernleaf Beech is an elegant specimen tree known for its finely cut, fern-like foliage and graceful, spreading form. The narrow, deeply divided green leaves give the tree a soft, textured appearance through the growing season, creating a refined look in larger landscapes.

As it matures, this beech develops a broad, rounded canopy with smooth gray bark that adds winter interest after the leaves fall. In autumn, the foliage turns warm golden-yellow to bronze before dropping.

A beautiful choice for lawns, estates, parks, or anywhere a distinctive shade tree has room to grow.
