Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a slow-growing shrub-form of the mighty European Beech with leaves that are strongly toothed in the upper half. S/M

By: Forestfarm

This dwarf, globose beech has a fairly slow growth rate and dense branching. One of the slowest growing beeches, making it a beautiful landscape shrub.

By: Conifer Kingdom

Green leaves are oval, toothed, and spoon-shaped. Typically grows more as a twiggy shrub. In cultivation since 1840, though still rare in the trade. Will take many years to reach the size mentioned above. If you plan to be around in another 70 years it will reach 15 feet. Good luck!

While this variety has been in cultivation since 1840, it is rarely offered. It should be better know as it is slow growing and a good plant for our smaller gardens. Its green leaves are oval, toothed, and spoon-shaped. More of a shrub than a tree. A very old plant will reach 15'.
