Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea', widely known as the Weeping Beech Tree, is a majestic ornamental tree recognised for its striking deep purple foliage that turns coppery bronze in autumn. A classic feature of parkland and large gardens, it provides year-round structure, dramatic colour, and excellent wildlife value. Whether planted as a specimen tree or clipped into a bold hedge, Copper Beech is both hardy and long-lived.
