This golden beech has a narrow upright habit and has an eye-catching, flame-shaped structure. This tree really stands out when planted alongside the sylvatica 'Dawyck Purple' as the two contrasting colours complement one another well. The 'Dawyck Gold' features bright yellow leaves in spring that turn green in summer, then yellow-brown in autumn. This variety of beech prefers to be left alone to thrive and does not benefit from regular pruning.
