Fagus Purpurea Copper Beech Tree

Copper Beech trees thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods.

Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and improve air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the tree.

Common pests include aphids and beech scale. Use insecticidal soap if needed. Copper Beech trees can be susceptible to beech bark disease; maintain tree health through proper watering and mulching, and inspect regularly for signs of infestation.
