See More Garden Goodies: http://www.WisconsinGarden.com - - - For over a year we’ve been seeking a Tricolor Beech tree for our yard. If you’re looking for a WOW specimen tree in your garden, this is one to consider. After visiting another amazing garden we fell in love with this amazing colorful foliage with shades of green, pink and white that turn copper color in fall. It’s botanical name is a mouth full ‘Fagus sylvatica ‘Roseomarginata.’ Now say that 10 times. It’s a slow growing tree that can reach heights between 24”-40’ tall and a 30’ wide canopy (but not in our yard). The leaves are truly unique. They are wavy, oval in shape and rather small around 2” wide. They produce both male and female flowers on the same tree that produce tri-corner nuts know as beechnut. Our European Beech tree however produces nuts that are bitter compared to the American variety. They prefer a slightly acidic environment but can tolerate most well-drained soil as their fibrous root system does not do well in waterlogged conditions. After transplanting, it does require regular watering and consistent watering, especially for the first couple of years to help the root system become firmly established.
