Purple Beech (Fagus sylvatica Atropurpurea) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 40-60cms

Product Code:  FASA12
Delivered from August 2012

From Only: £22.49 Ex VAT
Or £1.87 Per Plant


This RHS Premium Cell Grown Copper/Purple Beech (Fagus sylvatica Atropurpureum) hedge is sold as a Pack of 12. It comes with the benefits of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period.

Benefits
• RHS cell grown Purple Beech hedging plants, under licence granted by the Royal Horticultural Society
• Overall, the benefits of potted plants with the price of bare root plants
• Extended planting season - they can be planted when you want to plant them, as long as the roots are kept moist. You are not restricted to the bare root season
• Minimal root disturbance - root systems are supplied intact, with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs, so once planted they can grow rapidly, not suffering the 'shock' that bare root plants will.
• Uniformity - these plants are more uniform.
.

NB: Cell Grown Plants are sold in bundles containing 12 plants. Unfortunately, we are unable deliver split bundles. We can offer a substantial volume discount. These plants are between 40-60cms high though the actual height may vary due to the growing season.

Complete Product Information for Purple Beech (Fagus sylvatica Atropurpurea) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 40-60cms
This RHS Premium Cell Grown Copper/Purple Beech (Fagus sylvatica Atropurpureum) hedge is sold as a Pack of 12. The Copper/Purple Beech (Fagus sylvatica Atropurpureum) is a splendid hedge with purple leaves that turn a rich copper in autumn. It makes a superb hedge by, retaining the brown leaves through winter and only loosing them when the new foliage appears in spring. It will make a lovely formal hedge that also acts as an excellent windbreak.

Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world’s forestry trees are now cell grown!
