Fagus sylvatica Luteo Variegata

Fagus sylvatica Luteo Variegata Details

Fagus sylvatica Luteo Variegata is variegated beech tree grown for its colourful foliage. The leaves emerge variegated yellow and green in spring, darken as they age, then develop brown tones in autumn before falling. It grows with a broad and pyramidal shape to eventually reach 12 m tall and 7 m wide, though it can be contained with trimming. This tree performs best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site, and is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and dry periods. It will also tolerate moderate wind, though shelter and staking when young will help produce a better formed tree. This variegated European Beech tree is very colourful and mature specimens make a dramatic statement in the landscape. It is also commonly used for avenue planting, screening, or added to mixed plantings in large gardens.
