Purple Leaf Beech (Scientific name: Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii' or 'Dawyck Purple').One of the most aristocratic trees for the landscape, the Purple Leaf Beech is prized for its lustrous, deep wine-colored leaves that maintain their rich pigment throughout the summer. Its smooth, silver-gray bark provides a striking contrast to the dark foliage, making it a powerful visual anchor for any large New Jersey estate or park.Known for its longevity, this is a "legacy" tree that can thrive for over a century when planted in well-drained soil.
