Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii'

Deep purple, shiny leaves, upright when young, spreading to form a 60 ft. globe at maturity. Long in cultivation: cemeteries in many Eastern US cities were often planted with this variety, or other purple beeches that have grown to enormous impressive specimens. Fast-growing in the nursery, they make great field plants to bump later into a #15-20 container.
