Description

Fagus sylvatica purpurea Pendula

An absolute must-have in any large garden is the magnificent Weeping Copper Beech. The strange weeping habit of this particular beech creates a quirky interest where you'll find yourself staring at it for hours. The rich purple leaves appear in spring against a mottled grey trunk. In autumn the large round leaves turn reddish/orange. The Copper Beech tolerates full sun to part shade, however, in the Victorian climate it would benefit from afternoon summer shading. Grows best in well-drained, loamy soil and is considered a slow-growing tree. 100-litre pot

Ulmus parvifolia

The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm.
