Fagus sylvatica 'Rohanii'
Common Name: Rohanii European Beech
Fagus sylvatica ‘Rohanii’ — commonly called Cutleaf Purple Beech — is a distinctive, deciduous tree valued for its finely cut foliage and rich purple color. It develops a broad, rounded canopy with deeply lobed, narrow leaves that create a soft, fern-like texture. The foliage emerges deep purple in spring, often maturing to a purplish-green through summer, and transitions to bronze tones in fall. Its combination of color and delicate texture makes it a striking specimen in the landscape.
