The foliage of 'Purple Fountain' has a nice purple color (more green in shadier conditions) through the growing season before changing to yellow and copper in autumn. It also has a very graceful weeping architecture that needs very little pruning to maintain its shape thanks to its slower growth habit. Beech prefer moist soils, however well-drained. Relatively disease and insect resistant. 'Purple Fountain' is slower to leaf out in spring than other deciduous trees.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TimberPine","offers":[{"title":"1.5\"","offer_id":48238402666745,"sku":"BEEPUF015150","price":429.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4435\/9929\/files\/Beech_Purple_Fountain1__37059.1767911944.386.513.jpg?v=1775332807","url":"https:\/\/shop.timberpine.com\/products\/beech-european-purple-fountain","provider":"TimberPine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
