I took this photo a few years ago while traveling through Germany. I believe that this is a Tri Color Beech or Fagus sylvatica ‘Roseo-Marginata’. We were in a park that had several huge, towering trees that were covered in a pink hue! I had never noticed trees like these before.
When we got back home, I did a little research and the consensus seemed to be that these beech trees do not grow so well here in Colorado. However, I just looked it up in the Front Range Tree Recommendation List, and it was given a “B” grade (not too bad). Has anyone out there planted these? What experiences can you share about this tree?
