Fagus sylvatica 'Rohanii', commonly known as Rohanii European Beech, is an eye-catching deciduous tree prized for its deeply lobed, purple-tinted foliage that offers exceptional texture and color contrast in the landscape. This slow-growing cultivar forms a compact, rounded crown and makes an excellent specimen or focal point plant. Ideal for large gardens, parks, or formal settings, 'Rohanii' adds elegance to any space with its striking foliage and tidy form, particularly in autumn when leaves turn a rich bronze before dropping.
