Fagus sylvatica 'Purple Fountain' (Purple Weeping Beech)

Fagus sylvatica ‘Purple Fountain’
Purple Weeping Beech

Add dramatic color and graceful structure to the landscape with this striking weeping beech. Glossy, rounded leaves emerge in rich shades of purple and copper, covering the cascading branches with deep seasonal color. Its upright central form and naturally narrow habit create an elegant silhouette that works beautifully as a specimen tree.

‘Purple Fountain’ is slower growing than a typical beech and naturally maintains its graceful shape with little pruning needed. In fall, the foliage shifts to warm yellow and copper tones, adding another layer of seasonal interest before dropping for winter.

This deciduous tree is ideal for adding height, color, and sculptural form to gardens, lawns, or larger landscape beds.
