Copper Beech tree can be planted in domestic or parkland settings. Magnificent in May, its wine red leaves darken to purple-black in summer, and colour to glorious oranges and russets in autumn, and can retain some leaves during winter. It shares most of the characteristics of a green beech tree, except maybe a little slower growing. A very popular choice as it offers strong colour contrasts.
