Tricolored Beech

Like the European beech also seen on this church property, the tri-color beech is a beautiful ornamental tree with stunning colors that persist throughout the year. Tri-color beeches refer to specific cultivars of the European beech. The information provided for the European beech at the previous stop also applies to this one, with the exception of the leaves.

LEAVES: The leaves are simple, alternate, serrated, and purple with pinkish white edges. This variation is known for vibrant pink, white, and purple leaves that turn a golden bronze in the fall.
