Fagus sylvatica 'Rohanii Gold'

Common Name: Rohan Gold European Beech

Fagus sylvatica ‘Rohanii Gold’ — commonly called Golden Cutleaf Beech — is a distinctive deciduous tree valued for its finely cut foliage and unique golden coloration. It forms a broad, upright to rounded canopy with deeply lobed, narrow leaves that emerge golden-yellow to chartreuse, often with hints of bronze or purple, creating a striking, multi-toned effect. The foliage may deepen in color through summer and turns warm bronze in fall. Its texture and color make it a standout specimen tree.
