Weeping American Beech
Fagus grandifolia ‘Cameron’s Weeping’
‘Cameron’s Weeping’ American Beech is a unique dwarf selection of our native beech. With elegant, pendulous branches, ‘Cameron’s Weeping’ has a rounded form and low canopy that is perfect as a prized specimen in a small garden. The foliage emerges dark green in the spring, and turns a brilliant gold in the fall. These colors provide stunning contrast against its silver bark, which remains showy throughout the winter season. This tree is slow-growing, but ultimately can support over 100 species of butterflies and moths!
