Clipping copper beech for winter cover:
Copper Beech is not an evergreen, but if you clip it in summer it will hold onto its autumn leaves all through the winter, giving you a solid barrier & slowing down those cold, dry winter winds.
Planting Copper Beech:
Must have a well drained soil.
If your site is a bit shady, green beech is a better choice.
It
is a bit slower growing than its green cousin. We recommend improving your soil with some good manure before planting to give them a boost.
Plant a single row hedge at 3 plants per metre (33cms apart).
