Green Beech (Fagus sylvatica) hedging plants are large and fast-growing deciduous native plants which can grow at a rate of approximately 1-1.5ft / 30-60cm per year. Green Beech is hardy and will thrive in most conditions but is especially ideal for privacy screens and exposed windy sites with chalky soils.
Although technically a deciduous hedging plant, green beech hedges do retain their russet reddy brown leaves in most cases throughout the winter months, replaced by new green shoots in the Spring.
