Buy fagus sylvatica (common beech)
The beech hedge (Fagus), also simply referred to as beech, is one of the most popular hedging plants in our range. However, this name is often confused with the hornbeam (Carpinus), which belongs to a different genus. So take care: always check the Latin name to be certain whether it concerns the beech hedge (Fagus) and not the hornbeam (Carpinus). Although their names are very similar, there are clear distinctions between the two genera. In the following text, we explain these differences in more detail. The genus Fagus belongs to the family Fagaceae (the beech family). It naturally occurs in temperate climate zones across Europe, Asia, and North America. In particular, it forms extensive beech forests on fertile, calcareous soils in Western and Central Europe. The genus Fagus comprises approximately 10 to 13 species worldwide (depending on the botanical classification). The name Fagus originates from Latin and literally means beech. The word is related to the Greek phēgos, meaning “edible tree”, most likely referring to the edible beech nuts. In our gardens, Fagus is most commonly used as a hedge, although it can also be cultivated as a specimen tree, for topiary, as a pleached tree, or as a screening tree. In this text, however, we will focus entirely on its use as a hedge plant in the garden. The green beech hedge (Fagus sylvatica) and the copper or purple beech hedge (Fagus sylvatica 'Atropurpurea') are the most widely used varieties. The beech hedge is popular because the plant branches attractively, provides year-round privacy in the garden, and responds very well to pruning. This makes Fagus the perfect hedging plant for any garden, suitable for both low and tall hedges.
The key features and characteristics of the beech hedge
Fagus is one of the best-known hedging plants. Especially in classical and rural gardens, the beech hedge is frequently used as a boundary hedge. This is largely due to the favourable qualities of Fagus. Below you can read more about these characteristics:
Growth and height: the beech hedge (Fagus sylvatica) is known for its uniform growth. Compared to many other hedge plants, beech grows relatively slowly, averaging 30 to 60 centimetres per year. Thanks to this moderate growth rate, the plant is easy to manage and can be kept neat and formal with regular pruning. A young beech hedge initially grows more in width and develops a deep root system, allowing it to anchor firmly in the soil. As the hedge matures, it forms into a dense and compact screen. In terms of height, the beech hedge is highly versatile: low hedges of around 40 cm are possible along borders or paths, while for boundary or privacy purposes, hedges can reach up to 4 to 5 metres tall. As the beech hedge tolerates pruning very well, it is easy to maintain the desired height and shape for many years.Foliage and colour: the leaves are oval to elliptical in shape, with a smooth, glossy upper surface and a slightly hairy underside when young. The foliage measures 4 to 10 cm in length and 2 to 6 cm in width. The leathery texture makes the leaves more resistant to weather conditions. Young leaves in spring are often smaller and softer, fresh green in colour (Fagus sylvatica) and sometimes lightly hairy along the edges. Mature summer leaves are tougher and more leathery. Fagus sylvatica ‘Atropurpurea’ has a copper-red to deep purple colour.Position: the beech hedge thrives both in full sun and partial shade. In sunny sites, it develops a denser and fuller structure, while in partial shade growth may be a little slower, but still remains sufficiently compact for a proper hedge. Avoid deep shade, as this weakens the hedge and makes it more open.Soil conditions: the beech hedge has specific soil requirements. A Fagus hedge prefers fertile, humus-rich and lime-rich soil. The soil must be well-draining, as waterlogging around the roots can cause root rot and ultimately loss of plants. Heavy clay or poorly drained soils should be improved by loosening the soil, incorporating sand, and in more extreme cases installing drainage, so excess water can always run off.Moisture and pH value: a beech hedge requires consistent soil moisture, particularly in the first years after planting, to establish its roots properly. Thanks to its deep root system, the beech hedge anchors firmly in the ground, making it increasingly resistant to wind and less sensitive to drought over time. On light sandy soils, it is important to provide additional watering during hot summers and to mulch the soil. In terms of soil pH, beech grows best in neutral to slightly calcareous soils (pH 6 – 7.5).Hardiness: the beech hedge is fully hardy and tolerates temperatures down to -30 °C. This makes it suitable for almost all European climates, even in exposed or windy locations. Although deciduous, many withered leaves remain on the branches throughout winter. This not only offers protection against cold and wind but also retains a good degree of privacy.Lifespan: a Fagus hedge is a long-term investment. With proper care, a beech hedge can live for decades. With regular pruning, sufficient nutrition and a suitable site, it will form a lasting feature in the garden. Even at an advanced age, the beech hedge remains vigorous, provided soil conditions are favourable. In parks and estates, there are examples of beech hedges that are more than a hundred years old.Ecological value: the beech hedge contributes significantly to biodiversity in the garden. Thanks to its dense branching, it provides excellent shelter and nesting sites for birds and small mammals. In winter, when many other plants are bare, the withered leaves continue to offer cover. These leaves also attract insects, which in turn provide food for birds. In autumn, small beech nuts develop, which are enjoyed by birds and squirrels alike.Safety: the beech hedge is non-toxic, meaning it can be safely used in gardens where children play or where pets roam.
What are the possible garden applications of the beech hedge?
The beech hedge is best known as a hedging plant in our gardens, but Fagus can also be used in a variety of other ways. Below is a selection of garden applications with beech, according to our plant experts:
Low hedge: thanks to its dense branching and excellent tolerance of pruning, the beech hedge is perfect for creating low, formal hedges in the garden. Both the green beech and the copper beech grow evenly and are well suited for hedges of around 40 to 100 cm in height.Tall hedge: due to its vigorous growth, ideal branching structure and the fact that withered leaves remain on the plant in winter, the beech hedge is ideal for forming taller hedges. With proper care and maintenance, hedges can reach heights of 4 to 5 metres, though pruning makes it easy to maintain the hedge at any desired lower height.Privacy screening: beech hedges provide natural privacy around patios, swimming pools or property boundaries. They are also perfect for screening unsightly features such as bins or compost heaps.Wind and noise barrier: a dense beech hedge acts as a windbreak and can reduce noise from traffic or neighbours. This application is particularly effective in open landscapes or along roadsides.Background planting: the beech hedge forms a natural, neutral backdrop against which colourful flower borders or ornamental plants stand out beautifully. The seasonal changes in foliage colour also add vibrancy to the garden’s appearance.Specimen planting: although most commonly used as a hedge, beech can also be grown as a specimen tree. A single tree or a small group lends a stately and natural character, especially in larger gardens and parks.Nesting and shelter: the dense branching of the beech hedge provides excellent nesting and sheltering opportunities for birds and small animals. It contributes to garden biodiversity, particularly since withered leaves remain on the plant throughout the winter months.Food source: in autumn, small beech nuts develop, which are favoured by birds and other wildlife. Insects also benefit from the foliage, contributing to healthy soil life after leaf fall.Topiary and trained forms: as the beech hedge responds well to pruning, it is suitable not only as a hedge but also for other structural forms. These include block hedges, pleached trees, screening trees or other precise geometric shapes.Mass planting: beech is also suitable for planting larger areas. With timely and consistent pruning, uniform and formal blocks of Fagus can be created, giving the garden structure and tranquillity.
Combining Fagus hedging plants with other garden plants
The beech hedge combines beautifully with a wide range of garden plants. Thanks to its dense branching and foliage that largely remains throughout winter, the hedge forms a calm and natural backdrop. As a boundary hedge or as a green or purple wall, a beech hedge truly comes into its own. Especially with copper beech, striking colour contrasts can be created in the garden.
Perennials: colourful varieties such as coneflower (Echinacea), sage (Salvia) and catmint (Nepeta) stand out beautifully against the fresh green or deep red of the beech hedge. Autumn asters (Aster novi-belgii) and delphiniums (Delphinium) also provide a powerful seasonal accent.Ground cover plants: the base of the hedge can be attractively softened with hardy geraniums (Geranium), lady’s mantle (Alchemilla mollis) or barrenwort (Epimedium). These create a natural transition and neatly fill bare spots at the foot of the hedge.Ornamental grasses: airy grasses such as fountain grass (Pennisetum), maiden grass (Miscanthus) and sedge (Carex) contrast beautifully with the hedge’s formal lines and add movement to the garden. While many plants lose ornamental value in late summer and winter, ornamental grasses remain decorative well into the colder months.Shrubs: beech hedges pair well with richly flowering shrubs such as hydrangea (Hydrangea), butterfly bush (Buddleja) and snowball bush (Viburnum). These provide additional colour, fragrance and height. For extra seasonal effect, combine with dogwood (Cornus alba) with ornamental stems or forsythia (Forsythia) with its early spring blossoms.Trees and multi-stemmed shrubs: a beech hedge makes a perfect backdrop for specimen trees such as Japanese maple (Acer palmatum), crab apple (Malus) or a multi-stemmed serviceberry (Amelanchier lamarckii). These add extra layers to the garden and provide seasonal highlights in foliage, blossom and fruit.Ecological combinations: in naturalistic gardens, berry-producing shrubs such as rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) or firethorn (Pyracantha) combine well. They offer not only ornamental value but also food and shelter for birds and insects.
The right location and soil for a beech hedge
The success of planting and establishing a beech hedge largely depends on the right location, soil quality, and soil preparation. A beech hedge thrives best in fertile, humus-rich, and slightly calcareous soil. This applies to sandy soil, clay soil, and loamy soil, as long as the ground contains sufficient nutrients and does not remain (too) wet for long periods. Heavy clay soils can be improved by mixing in sand and organic material. Dry sandy soils can be enriched with compost or potting soil, so the soil retains moisture better and contains more nutrients. Proper soil preparation before planting is crucial for successful root establishment. Ideally, a neutral to slightly calcareous soil (pH 6 to 7.5) is best. In strongly acidic soil, the beech hedge grows less well, but this can be improved by adding lime. A well-drained soil is essential, as beech does not tolerate prolonged waterlogging. The hedge develops most compactly and densely in a sunny or partially shaded position. The sunnier the site, the fuller and denser the hedge will grow. In deep shade, growth becomes looser, and the hedge loses its screening ability. Although the beech hedge is hardy and resistant to cold, Fagus is less tolerant of extreme drought. In particular, young, newly planted beech hedges need extra watering during dry periods to ensure proper growth. Shelter from strong winds is beneficial in the early years, but once mature, beech hedges are firmly rooted and can serve as effective windbreaks.
If you want to plant a beech hedge and enjoy a healthy, dense, and long-lasting screen for many years, make sure to provide:
A position in sun or partial shade.
Fertile, humus-rich, and slightly calcareous soil.
Avoidance of prolonged waterlogging to prevent root rot (and plant loss).
Sufficient water during the first years after planting and in dry summers.
Fertilisation twice a year, in spring (March/April) and summer (June/July), to keep the hedge strong and dense.
A mulch layer of bark or leaf compost to retain moisture and stimulate soil life.
Tip from our plant experts: when planting, use our Heijnen planting soil to promote root development and establishment. This helps the beech hedge grow more quickly into a dense and compact hedge.
Planting a beech hedge the right way
Before planting a beech hedge, proper soil preparation is essential. Beech hedges are available as container-grown plants or as bare-root stock.
Container-grown beech can be planted almost all year round, provided the soil is not frozen or waterlogged. Because the roots remain intact in the pot and are transferred undamaged into the soil, these plants usually establish more quickly. With sufficient soil temperature (spring through autumn), the roots start to grow immediately, and the above-ground parts also shoot into growth sooner.Bare-root beech is usually supplied between October and April, when the plants are dormant. This is the best period for planting, as the plants are resting. Since bare-root plants are lifted from the nursery, their root system is partly disturbed, meaning they can only be planted successfully in the dormant season (October to April). At this time, the risk of drying out due to higher temperatures is absent, giving them enough time to root. In early spring, bare-root stock may still be leafless; in autumn, the foliage may already be brown or withered because beech retains its leaves in winter. Both situations are normal and not a sign of poor quality.
A dense, full beech hedge can only be achieved with the right planting distance. The larger the plants at the time of purchase, the fewer are required per linear metre to quickly form a closed hedge. It is also important to firm the soil well during planting and to water the hedge thoroughly, so no air pockets remain and the soil stays sufficiently moist. General guideline for the correct number of beech hedge plants per metre:
Beech hedge 40–60 cm – 6 plants per linear metreBeech hedge 60–80 cm, 80–100 cm – 5 plants per linear metreBeech hedge 100–125 cm, 125–150 cm – 4 plants per linear metreBeech hedge 150–175 cm, 175–200 cm – 3 plants per linear metre
Thorough soil preparation is the key to a healthy and dense beech hedge. By loosening the existing soil and mixing in compost or Heijnen planting soil, the young roots are immediately given a nutrient-rich and airy base. This stimulates root development, improves the soil’s water-retaining capacity, and helps the plant establish more quickly into a full and strong hedge. After planting, it is important to provide sufficient water. Especially in the first months after planting and during dry summers, beech requires extra moisture to establish properly. Regular and even watering speeds up growth and prevents the plants from drying out. For a step-by-step guide to the entire planting process, please refer to our hedge planting instructions .
Tip from our hedge specialist: would you like an instantly dense and mature beech hedge? Then opt for larger plants at planting time. These provide more volume right away and give you faster privacy and the desired garden appearance.
Essential care and maintenance of the beech hedge (Fagus)
Like other hedging plants, a beech hedge requires the right care and maintenance. This starts even before planting, with proper soil preparation. After planting, the beech hedge needs specific care in order to develop into a full and healthy hedge. Below you will find the most important guidelines and tips for maintaining a beech hedge:
Planting a beech hedge
Planting container-grown plants: container-grown beeches can be planted almost all year round, except during frost or extreme heat. The best periods are spring, summer, and autumn, as the roots then continue to grow immediately and the plants establish more quickly. Container plants are generally stronger and less prone to losses than bare-root plants.Planting bare-root stock: bare-root beeches are available from October to April, during the plant’s dormant season. They are attractively priced but require more care during planting and aftercare. In autumn, bare-root plants are often supplied with withered leaves, while in spring, bare twigs are normal. Both situations are part of the natural cycle of beech and are not a sign of poor quality.Soil and preparation: a beech hedge establishes best in humus-rich, calcareous, and well-drained soil. Loosen the ground deeply, mix in compost or special Heijnen planting soil, and ensure that excess water can drain away. Beech does not tolerate prolonged waterlogging; on heavy clay, drainage or improvement with sand and organic material is essential for successful establishment.Plant spacing: the spacing depends on the size of the plants at purchase. Smaller plants are usually planted 6 per metre, medium-sized ones around 4 to 5 per metre, and larger plants 3 per linear metre. The larger the initial size, the quicker a closed hedge will form. Check the product page for exact recommendations, as there may be small differences between container-grown and bare-root beeches.
Watering a beech hedge
Immediately after planting: water generously straight after planting. This helps the soil settle around the roots, removes air pockets, and enables the hedge to root more quickly.The first months: a newly planted beech hedge requires extra attention. Especially in warm or dry periods, regular watering is vital to prevent dehydration and allow the roots to establish. This is the most vulnerable stage of the plant, so ensure Fagus receives water on time.How much and how often: in dry spells, it is better to water less frequently but thoroughly (for example once or twice a week) rather than giving a little every day. This moistens the soil more deeply and encourages the roots to grow downwards. In the long term, this makes the hedge stronger and more drought-resistant. Always check that the soil is moist below the surface (10–20 cm deep).Mature beech hedge: once established, a beech hedge tolerates dry periods fairly well. Nevertheless, it is advisable to water during prolonged heat or drought. Do this preferably early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation. Rainwater is most suitable and more sustainable than tap water.Important: beech does not tolerate waterlogged soil. Always ensure proper drainage. Standing water around the roots can cause suffocation and root rot, weakening or even killing the hedge.
Pruning a beech hedge
How often: to keep a beech hedge dense, healthy, and well-shaped, it is best to prune twice a year. On fertile soils or with vigorous growth, a third pruning may be needed to keep it neat.When to prune: the first pruning should be carried out around late May or early June, just after the spring flush. The second pruning should be done in late August or early September, so the hedge goes into winter well maintained.Pruning technique: always use sharp, well-maintained tools. With beech, it is important to cut back mainly young wood. Cutting deep into old wood can result in bare patches that do not regenerate well. Prune in good time and preferably on a cloudy day to prevent sun scorch on the leaves.Shape: ensure the hedge is wider at the base than at the top. This allows light to reach the lower branches, keeping the hedge dense from top to bottom.Recovery after pruning: beech tolerates pruning very well and becomes denser with regular maintenance. Waiting too long increases the risk of bare patches that are slow to recover. Timely pruning is therefore the key to a compact, attractive hedge.
Feeding a beech hedge
At planting: give the hedge a good start by using Heijnen starter fertiliser at planting. This encourages rapid root development and helps young plants establish.Spring (March/April): fertilise in early spring with an organic fertiliser such as cow manure pellets, or use Heijnen hedge fertiliser. This is when the plants grow most actively and need the most nutrients.Summer (June/July): a second feed in summer keeps the hedge strong and compact. On light sandy soils or with vigorous growth, this prevents deficiencies and keeps the foliage healthy in colour.Compost: applying a layer of compost or leaf mould around the base annually improves soil structure, stimulates soil life, and helps retain moisture. This is especially beneficial on dry or poor soils.pH value: beech grows best in neutral to slightly calcareous soils (pH 6–7.5). On strongly acidic soils, growth is poorer. If necessary, add lime to restore the right pH and ensure optimal growth of Fagus.
The greatest ornamental values of a beech hedge
The beech hedge has been a beloved garden plant for generations. This is not only due to its reliability and longevity but also to its outstanding ornamental value throughout the seasons. Below are the main ornamental features of the beech hedge:
Foliage colour through the seasons: the beech hedge is renowned for its oval leaves with slightly wavy edges. In spring they emerge fresh green or copper-red, in summer they turn deep green or dark red (depending on the variety), and in autumn they transform into warm shades of gold, bronze, and orange. This continual change of colour gives the garden a new character in every season.Winter interest with leaf retention: although beech is deciduous, many leaves remain in a withered state on the hedge until spring when the new leaves appear. As a result, the hedge retains its dense structure in winter, providing shelter and privacy.Versatile in design: with its uniform branching and smooth grey bark, the beech hedge has a classic and elegant appearance. It is often used in formal gardens, parks, and estates, but also suits modern gardens thanks to its clean lines.Suitable for various heights and forms: the beech hedge is easy to prune and can be maintained as a low hedge of 40 cm, or as a tall boundary hedge of 2 to 3 metres (sometimes even higher). Thanks to its fine branching and compact foliage structure, it can be kept in almost any desired height or shape.Ecological value: the dense structure of the beech hedge provides excellent nesting and shelter for birds and small animals. In addition, the leaves and beechnuts are an important food source and contribute to biodiversity in the garden.
Popular and widely used beech varieties at Heijnen suitable for hedging
At Heijnen you will find several types of beech that are particularly suitable for forming a hedge. Our hedge specialists have summarised the key characteristics of the most commonly used beech hedges below. This allows you to see the differences at a glance and easily choose the beech hedge that best suits your garden:
The Fagus sylvatica (green beech hedge) – the green beech has glossy, oval leaves 4–10 cm long with a softly wavy edge. In spring they are fresh green, turning darker green in summer. In autumn the foliage displays warm golden-bronze shades. Many leaves remain withered on the hedge until spring, providing privacy even in winter. The green beech grows densely and evenly, making it an ideal choice for a sleek, full hedge.
The Fagus sylvatica 'Atropunicea' (copper or purple beech hedge) – the copper beech is distinguished by its deep reddish-brown to purplish-red leaves, also oval in shape and 5–9 cm long. In spring the foliage often emerges copper-red, maturing to a dark purple-red in summer. In autumn it turns brown, with much of the foliage persisting on the branches until spring. Thanks to its striking leaf colour, the copper beech has a refined, luxurious appearance and offers a stylish alternative to the green variety.
The advantages and disadvantages of a beech hedge
The hedge specialists at Heijnen have listed the main pros and cons of the beech hedge for you. This information is based on many years of nursery experience as well as feedback from our customers. This gives you a reliable overview to help you make the right choice for your beech hedge:
Advantages of a beech hedge
Ornamental value in all seasons: the foliage of the beech hedge changes from fresh green or copper-red in spring to deep green or red in summer and warm golden-bronze in autumn. Thanks to the withered leaves that remain on the hedge in winter, it retains a dense appearance even in the coldest months.
Privacy and structure: the beech hedge grows compactly and forms a true “green wall” that provides shelter and privacy for many years.
Easy to prune: beech tolerates pruning very well. With regular trimming, the hedge stays neat and dense and can be maintained at any desired height.
Ecological value: the dense branches provide nesting sites for birds and small animals. Fallen leaves enrich the soil, and the beechnuts are an important food source for wildlife.
Longevity: with the right care, a beech hedge can last for decades – sometimes even more than a century.
Disadvantages of a beech hedge
Not fully evergreen: although many withered leaves remain in place during winter, the hedge is not truly evergreen. As a result, it may look slightly less dense in the coldest months compared with species that are fully wintergreen.
Water requirements in the first years: young beech hedges are sensitive to drought and require regular additional watering during dry summers.
Regular pruning required: to keep the hedge neat and dense, at least two prunings per year are necessary. If pruning is delayed too long, bare patches may form that are slow to recover.
The differences between beech hedges and hornbeam hedges
The beech hedge (Fagus) and hornbeam (Carpinus) are often confused. Although their names are very similar, there are clear differences between these two genera. The hedge experts at Heijnen have summarised the most important distinctions for you:
Differences in foliage and leaf retention
Beech hedge (Fagus): is semi-evergreen. The leaves (green or red/brown, depending on the variety) often remain on the plant until spring, when new foliage emerges. This provides almost year-round privacy. Do note, however, that in winter the leaves turn brown while still attached.Hornbeam (Carpinus): is not evergreen. The leaves fall in late autumn after the first frost, leaving the hedge bare in winter. As a result, Carpinus offers less privacy.
Differences in structure and foliage characteristics
Fagus (beech hedge): the leaves are oval to elliptical, 4–10 cm long, with a smooth texture. The margins are slightly wavy and often lined with fine soft hairs when young, which later disappear. The leaves are glossy and have a fairly uniform surface without deep veins, giving the hedge an elegant and refined look. Two varieties are commonly used: the green beech (Fagus sylvatica) with fresh green foliage that turns copper-brown in autumn, and the copper/purple beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Atropurpurea'), with dark red to purplish-brown leaves that also turn brown in autumn.Carpinus (hornbeam): the foliage of the Carpinus betulus (hornbeam) is oval and pointed, 5–9 cm long, with a more robust structure. The leaves are matte green, marked by 10 to 15 prominent parallel veins that form a grooved pattern. The serrated edges give the leaves a rougher and sharper appearance compared to beech. In autumn, the foliage turns yellow to brown and then falls almost entirely in winter.
Differences in soil and growing position
Fagus: more demanding in terms of soil. Grows best in well-drained, fertile soils and does poorly in wet or poor soils. Beech is also less tolerant of shade and compacted soil.Carpinus: far less demanding and tolerates almost all soil types, even heavier clay and moist soils. It also grows better in shaded locations.
Differences in growth and maintenance
Fagus: grows at a relatively slow to moderate rate, making it easier to maintain in a formal shape. It does require precise pruning (preferably in June and late August) to remain dense.Carpinus: grows faster and more vigorously, making it robust and quick to fill in. It is less sensitive and can even be cut back into old wood without issue.
Differences in hardiness and resilience
Fagus: can be sensitive to drought, waterlogging, and extreme weather. Prolonged drought may cause leaf scorch.Carpinus: much tougher and more resilient against both drought and wet conditions, making it the more durable choice for challenging sites.
Differences in privacy and appearance
Fagus: retains its leaves in winter, providing privacy and a luxurious, formal look.Carpinus: sheds its leaves in winter, offering less privacy, but has a more natural and robust appearance.
If you choose a beech hedge (Fagus), you opt for an elegant hedge with glossy foliage that provides winter privacy, though it does require richer soil and more care. Choosing a hornbeam (Carpinus) means selecting a strong, fast-growing hedge that is less demanding and suitable for nearly any soil, though it will be bare in winter.
