Plant of the Day
Sunday 4 January 2015
The distinctive outline and habit of Fagus sylvatica ‘Pendula’ (weeping beech). A large deciduous trees with smooth grey bark, with long, pendulous side-branches, with leaves that colour well in autumn. This tree is a specimen plant for a large lawn and needs plenty of room to perform, reaching an ultimate height of more than 12 metres and a spread of over 8 metres. It requires a well drained soil and seems to make a useful lookout for crows!
