I had a purple fountain beech about 7 years. I moved and brought my tree with me. I hope it wakes up and thrives this spring! I will be the greatest if it does! Such a nice tree, I'll be the best house on the street landscaping wise if she wakes up after winter.
Love these trees! We planted one in the fall of 2020. It was beautiful until the fall if 2021. One day the leaves turned a gorgeous orange colour then the next day all leaves fell off. It is now spring of 2022 and we are crossing our fingers for its survival. What went wrong? Bottom branches snap off but mid to upper still have the promise of life (green inside) can it be saved?
This is a tree known to leaf out later than most of our natives, like Maples, in the west. When noticing it's lack of leaves in the spring flush of growth It was assumed to be dead or dying until I looked closer to see the tightly wrapped leaves beginning to unfurl near the ground. Beech trees are one of the most beautiful of all for the extra show they give all fall. Tough leaf structure and hardwood, gives us a durable cloth we call Tensile. The now Extinct Passanger Pidgeon left its favorite tree behind for our use and appreciation.

It’s been 8 years since your comment. I’d love to know if she survived the move!

does it need pruning and did you ever stake it? Mine looks like its leaning after this horrid winter.
No, that is part of its character, and it should only be pruned if it damaged.
Why does the guy talking say only plant one of the Purple Fountain trees?
