Fagus sylvatica or Green Beach, This is a hedge that requires no introduction, green in summer and that beautiful golden tan colour over the winter, will retain its rustic crisp leaves right into spring just before the new crop, on fertile land, normally sold barerooted in appropriate season, but sometimes available potted in a number of sizes from 2 lite up, two plant per metre is adequate, some folk plant a double row.

Green beech is extensively planted in rural sites and agricultural screening, it can be mixed successfully with Whitethorn Crataegus monogyna, to produce a security screen against both two and four legged animals. Requires fertile well drained site, would benefit from ridge planting, in heavy soil conditions. While available in a number of sizes anything less then two year old, two to three ft high tends to be second grades, with obvious results.
