Fagus Sylvatica or Common Beech Hedging for sale Online UK

Fagus Sylvatica or Common Beech Hedging for sale Online UK

Fagus Sylvatica or Common Beech TreeFagus Sylvatica (also known as the Common Beech or European Beech) is native to South Wales and the southern United Kingdom and belongs to the family of Fagaceae. This is a popular hedging variety of Fagus Sylvatica, which although deciduous, gets its new leaves early every year. In the autumn, its old leaves drop off very slowly, often remaining on the plant throughout the winter. These features make it suitable for hedging. In fact, beech is one of the most popular deciduous hedging plants in the UK. In the winter season we also have this plant available in bare root form. Fagus Sylvatica produces new foliage between March and April each year. The shape of the leaves are ovate. New leaves emerge in spring in hues of beautiful green-yellow. As the foliage matures over the summer, the leaves become a deeper green. In autumn, they turn reddish-brown. Fagus Sylvatica is monoecious, meaning it produces both male and female flowers, which it produces during late April and May. Female flowers grow in pairs and are green. Male flowers are in the form of catkins and drape elegantly from long stalks. After the flowering period, edible beech nuts are produced, which these days, are mainly used to feed livestock. Whole enriched oil-nuts start forming in autumn, around September. The leaves of common beech take some time to decay completely. Fagus Sylvatica can live for hundreds of years and is UK hardy for all regions of United Kingdom. Beech is wild-life friendly providing shelter and food for many species. It is not overly fussy about soil type but thrives in limestone or chalky soils. See also Purple Beech for Hedging. For mixed beech and hornbeam hedging, see also Hornbeam Hedging Carpinus Betulus which we have availabile in many sizes.

If you cut back stems by a third and remove any dead, diseased or crossed stems when the flowers have died Weigela Florida Purpurea will regenerate and bloom every year.Weigela has made a comeback in recent years. They are prized by gardeners as low maintenance, heavy-flowering attractive shrubs that fill a garden with colour and structure.

Deep pink buds open into paler star-shapes with golden stamens. The perfect pink petals ripen into tiny firm apples that gradually swell over the summer months. The foliage also gathers pace, bursting out in a darker green with feathered edges. The blossom stage is extremely attractive and it is worth growing Braeburn apples trees for this alone. In late October to November, when the apples bear an equal amount of red and green, they are ready to harvest. Braeburn is a heavy cropper, but the tree is sturdy and able to bear fruit from a young age.In winter foliage disperses with the frosts leaving a strong structural outline before spring brings the new blossom. How Hardy Is Malus Domestica BraeburnApple Braeburn is hardy throughout the UK, able to withstand sub-zero temperatures if its roots are free from waterlogged conditions.

A container will restrict its size and make a lovely fruiting addition to a patio. How To Care For Malus Domestica BraeburnFor heavy crops of fruit, Apple Malus Braeburn needs a sunny spot and should be kept from frost pockets and harsh, windy areas. It is self fertile and able to produce fruit by itself but will crop more heavily if there are other types of apple tree are growing nearby.  Before planting your Apple Braeburn dig plenty of rich organic matter into the planting hole and water well throughout the growing season. Each year add a thick layer of mulch to the roots for the best blossom and fruit harvest. You do not need to prune a Braeburn, but you can cut back broken, dead or crossed branches in the winter to create an open crown, so there is more room for apples to soak up the sun and ripen. If you are looking for a reliable cropper, and have a warm sunny spot to fill, Malus Domestica Braeburn is one of the tastiest apples you can grow. It looks attractive throughout the year and will supply apples that store for months. Lots more to choose from in our fruiting trees section.
