A columnar reddish-purple leaved beech. Slow growth habit and narrow form makes it ideal for smaller residential landscapes while also a striking vertical accent or specimen in most any setting, growing to 40 ft. by only 5 ft. wide. New leaves are vivid pink and red then darkening to a deep burgundy. The leaves of Red Obelisk Beech may even appear curly or wavy. Brilliant fall color, papery copper leaves that remain on the branches and smooth silver bark adds attractive winter interest. Zone 4-7.
