Fagus sylvatica 'Rohan Gold'
Height: 30 feet
Spread: 25 feet
Sunlight:
Hardiness Zone: 5a
Other Names: Common Beech, European Beech
Description:
An incredible accent tree with smooth gray bark; incised gold leaves in spring turn to light-green during summer then gold in the fall; a most stately specimen;particular about growing conditions, requires rich soil and moisture; smaller beech
Ornamental Features
Rohan Gold Beech is primarily valued in the landscape for its decidedly oval form. It has attractive light green deciduous foliage which emerges gold in spring. The serrated lobed leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding gold in the fall. The smooth silver bark is extremely showy and adds significant winter interest.
Landscape Attributes
Rohan Gold Beech is a dense deciduous tree with a shapely oval form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Rohan Gold Beech is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Accent
- Shade
Planting & Growing
Rohan Gold Beech will grow to be about 30 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 25 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live to a ripe old age of 120 years or more; think of this as a heritage tree for future generations!
This tree should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
