Fagus sylvatica 'Anniek' – Fagus sylvatica 'Anniek'

View prices and availability
Narrow, columnar tree with vertical central leaderes, lateral branches and twigs. The branching starts low on the trunk. Very predictable in shape: similar to the well-known ‘Dawyck’. The leaf is glossy dark green and 4 - 10 cm in size, becoming matter later in summer. Stays on the tree, dry and withered, in winter, thereby visually reinforcing the columnar habit even in winter. Blossoms less profusely than F. sylvatica, so forms fewer fruits. Prefers well-drained, humic soil, not too wet. Moderately wind resistant. Was selected as a seedling of F. sylvatica.
