Good morning.
Reference to Gerd Krussman's Manual of Cultivate Broadleaved Trees & Shrubs
Vol.2 advises the following edited extract:
"Fagus purpurea - collective name for all the seedlings with red foliage
....................Over the years a number of especially dark red and black
red beeches have been found, named and propagated: i.e. "Riversii",
"Purpurea Latifolia", Swat Magret", and "Spaethiana". All these forms are
propagated by grafting".
I had a moderate avenue of grafted "Riversii" in a park in Maidenhead, when
T/O there a number of years ago. Grafts were very significant and noted by
many members of the public. Being in numbers, I personally found them to be
a dull and depressing addition to that part of the landscape. As individuals
or in reduced numbers, they would have contributed better to the landscape
profile.
Trust this is of interest.
Regards
Paul S Watts

You probably need to speak to a nurseryman for chapter and verse, but my
understanding is that 'copper 'beech is an infinitely variable naturally
arising seedling variant of the native species whilst 'purple ' beech
(the
really dark one) is a stem grafted cultivar, grafted onto standard beech
rootstock, the graftline often leaving a visible swelling and I have
seen
it many times. Not sure if it always happens and those that don't have
it
are just dark copper beech or if some grafts just work better than
others.
