The beech is fairly undemanding in terms of location
At which location does the beech grow best?
Beech trees prefer a warm, mild location. Basically, they also grow in the shade, but they are not quite so high and colorful. What to look for when choosing your location.
The right location for a beech
When waterlogged the roots rot, and after a short time. Choose a place where the rainwater can drain well. If necessary, you should create a drainage before planting.
Windbreaking is especially important during the first years, as beech trees are rootworms and are uprooted by stronger storms.
The leaves of blood beech will be particularly colorful when the beech is as sunny as possible.
Tips
The stem of the beech has a very thin bark and suffers from strong sunlight. In very sunny locations, the beech grows better when the trunk is shaded by other trees.
