Fagus sylvatica ‘Red Obelisk’(Beech) Red Obelisk is a handsome columnar beech prized for its rich deep purple foliage and elegant upright form. The crinkled leaves hold their dramatic color throughout the growing season, creating strong vertical interest in the landscape. Its naturally narrow habit and slow growth make it a wonderful low-maintenance choice for residential gardens and tighter spaces. In winter, the smooth silver-gray bark adds additional beauty and structure to the landscape. Over time, this striking specimen tree develops into a tall architectural feature well suited for larger properties and formal plantings.
