Common name:
Mercedes European beech
Family:
Fagaceae (beech family)
Distribution:
Species native to Europe

USDA Zone 4

Deciduous tree
Comments:
This dwarf cultivar will mature as a densely branched, stocky plant that after many years will grow around 15'. A branch sport mutation from the well-known cultivar 'Asplenifolia'. It differs from the latter in having extremely linear, harpoon-shaped leaves, 2½" long. A unique specimen worthy of a prominent position in any garden.
