Weeping Beech

The Weeping Beech, Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula', is a cultured variety of the deciduous European Beech.

The weeping beech is characterized by its shape with sweeping, pendulous branches. The stem of the tree may not be visible from a distance due to the presence of the covering weeping branches. Branches may reach the ground and start new roots again. Smaller than the Common Beech, the tree can reach a height of up to 25 m and tends to be wider than high.
