Features and Where to use
The European Beech is a time tested true to please tree. It has more recently been used for hedging on medium to larger lots in sun or shade. Simply plant them approx 24-36" apart, watch them grow and once a year in summer prune back any branches sticking out too far for what you are hoping to achieve. The leaves are a glossy light green colour.
For hedges 60-120" tall. You can also let it grow as a stand-alone tree. After the leaves have browned in the fall, they hold on to them, especially near the center of the tree, so it gives some privacy all year long.
