The European Beech tree is a fantastic tree with a tremendous history.  It is also the quintessential hedge tree that for thousands of years has been the hedge tree of choice!

As a hedge tree, it forms a solid specimen that offers four season beauty and the toughness of a hedge to provide privacy and even security with its stout trunk and branching. The noble European estates and castles all planted the European beech to provide protection, privacy, and even to demarcate their large properties and estates.
