Fagus sylvatica 'Anniek' – Fagus sylvatica 'Anniek'

View prices and availability
Narrow, columnar tree with vertical central leaderes, lateral branches and twigs. The branching starts low on the trunk. Very predictable in shape: similar to the well-known ‘Dawyck’. The leaf is glossy dark green and 4 - 10 cm in size, becoming matter later in summer. Stays on the tree, dry and withered, in winter, thereby visually reinforcing the columnar habit even in winter. Blossoms less profusely than F. sylvatica, so forms fewer fruits. Prefers well-drained, humic soil, not too wet. Moderately wind resistant. Was selected as a seedling of F. sylvatica.
Good news: the vast majority of our range is immediately available from container stock. A few varieties that are only available as field-grown trees will be delivered from November 2026 onwards. We will let you know in advance per order which trees will arrive when.
