Plant Care
The Dawyck Purple Beech is relatively low-maintenance once established. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. This tree rarely requires pruning to maintain its columnar shape, though dead or damaged branches should be removed as needed.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the tree from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with native soil, water thoroughly, and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
