Landscape Qualities

Tricolor Beech is a dense deciduous tree with a shapely oval form. Its average texture blends into the landscape | but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.

Ornamental Qualities

Tricolor Beech is primarily valued in the landscape for its decidedly oval form. It has attractive white-variegated burgundy foliage with hints of pink. The serrated pointy leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding coppery-bronze in the fall. The smooth silver bark is extremely showy and adds significant winter interest.

Planting and Growing

Tricolor Beech will grow to be about 30 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 20 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 3 feet from the ground | and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a slow rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live to a ripe old age of 120 years or more; think of this as a heritage tree for future generations!

This tree should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution | and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
