The Mercedes European Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Mercedes') is a cultivar of the European beech tree known for its exceptional ornamental qualities. This deciduous tree features a symmetrical, upright growth habit with a broad and rounded crown. It typically reaches a height of 40 to 50 feet and spreads 30 to 40 feet wide, creating a substantial presence in the landscape. The foliage of the Mercedes European Beech is one of its main attractions. The leaves emerge in spring as a rich, deep purple color, creating a striking contrast against the green foliage of other trees. As the season progresses, the leaves transition to a dark green hue, maintaining their glossy appearance throughout the summer months. In the fall, the foliage turns a beautiful coppery bronze, adding warmth to the landscape. The Mercedes European Beech thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. It is a relatively low-maintenance tree, requiring minimal pruning or special care. With its attractive foliage, compact size, and moderate growth rate, the Mercedes European Beech is a popular choice for gardens, parks, and urban landscapes where its beauty and versatility can be appreciated.
