I want to plant a fagus dawyck purple beside my house on a south facing side. I want to know if the root system will try to break into my foundation or if it is safe.

Question from
Chrissy Spooner
I planted 3 of Fagus sylvatica Dawyk Purple this winter & want them to grow into 2m wide cylinders approx. 3m tall. How & when would I prune them to create this effect? I'm concerned about pruning the leader.

Question from
Andrea Simon
We planted our purple beech Summer last year, it is still waiting to bloom, and brown leaved. All the other beech trees in our area are turning green and we are concerned that it isn't going to come to anything. How long does a fairly new tree take to bloom? there are buds but have beens for a number a months.
I look forward to any comments
