  6. Planting Your Weeping Purple Beech

  7. Choosing the Right Spot: Select a location with full sun to partial shade. This tree thrives in deep, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Avoid compacted or poorly draining areas.

  8. Preparing to Plant: Dig a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball and slightly deeper. Loosen the surrounding soil to encourage root growth.

  9. Planting: Gently remove the tree from its container and tease out any circling roots. Place it in the hole, ensuring the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp down gently to remove air pockets.

  10. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the first growing season.

  11. Caring for Your Weeping Purple Beech 01 02 03 04 Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Fertilizing: Feed your tree with a balanced fertilizer once a year in early spring. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Prune any dead, diseased, or crossing branches in late winter or early spring to maintain their desired weeping form. Watering: Once established, it's fairly drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells.

  12. Tips The Weeping Purple Beech can be susceptible to pests like aphids and beech scale. Monitor your tree and treat any infestations promptly with organic methods whenever possible. Young trees may benefit from staking in the first few years to encourage a strong, upright central leader. However, mature trees don't require staking due to their naturally weeping habit.

  13. With proper care, your Weeping Purple Beech will become a cherished centerpiece of your landscape for generations to come.
