Red Obelisk European Beech
The Red Obelisk European Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Red Obelisk') is a cultivar of the European beech tree known for its tall and narrow columnar shape. This deciduous tree features deep red to purple foliage that emerges in spring and maintains its color throughout the growing season, adding a vibrant and dramatic element to the landscape. The leaves have a fine, serrated edge and a glossy appearance, creating a striking contrast against the tree's upright form. The Red Obelisk European Beech typically reaches a height of 40 to 50 feet with a spread of only 10 to 15 feet, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or as a vertical accent in gardens, borders, or along driveways. It is a relatively slow-growing tree that adapts well to various soil types, but it thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers a location with full sun to partial shade. This cultivar is valued for its compact size, attractive foliage, and unique columnar habit, making it a standout specimen in any landscape design.
