Weeping European Beech

Description

Growth slow when young; main branches more or less horizontal or curved upward, side branches usually hanging vertically (DS 6). No two trees are exactly alike; sometimes the branches are horizontal for a distance and turn down forming a large tent-like mass; other trees have a central leader from which the branches hang down at various angles from 60 to 40 degrees to almost "arms at one's side" (DS 9).
