Beeches are common trees in our climate. This fern leaved beech has narrow, deeply cut leaves, 5-10 cm long, glossy. It maintains low branches and forms a shrubby tree which seldom goes over 10 m, but it is usually much smaller. It is suitable for medium sized gardens, and should you not wish to have a tall specimen you can easily keep it compact and smaller by trimming early in the spring. It grows slowly and will respond well to pruning. Needs moist soil with good drainage and full sun. Very hardy.
