Fagus orientalis Plants more deeply incised leaves andNative to Eurasia and south eastern Europe, the oriental beech is very similar to our own native species but has larger leaves and much more upright when young. The juvenile shoots and underside of the leaves are also covered in silky hairs, and the cupules have leaf like appendages. Good, yellow autumn colour. Does well on all free draining soils. H7
