For an unusually coloured hedgerow, Copper beech is the perfect candidate. It can be grown to almost any height as a hedge or privacy screen and will maintain a good density and tidy shape, usually only needing to be clipped once or twice a year. Over winter, Copper Beech tends to hold onto most of its dead leaves, and sheds them in the spring when the new shoots start to appear.
