Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii' BushOrigin: England. Impressive deciduous tree with straight, strong trunk. The main branches also very strong and usually ascending. They start from the base and cover the whole length of the trunk. The ends of the secondary branches droop especially in adult trees. The result is a conical-spreading outline when the tree is young, majestic and rounded when adult. The leaves are bright red in spring, reddish-purple in summer, green and red in autumn. Fruit is the same as Fagus sylvatica but tinged with reddish-brown. Same soil as Fagus sylvatica.
