Purple Fountain Beech - Fagus sylvatica 'Purple Fountain' - Ball & Burlap Big Daddy Hosta The strong outer housing protectsThe Purple Fountain Beech is a unique and very special specimen tree for that special spot in your garden. It has a naturally upright single central trunk, and side branches that cascade down to the ground. It grows tall but slender, making it perfect for smaller spaces and small gardens. The foliage is deep burgundy purple, and it holds its colour from bud break right into fall. Fall colour is yellow to brown, and the leaves often stay on the tree
