The price of a European beech depends on whether you need small European beeches for a hedge or want to plant a larger individual tree. Delivery as bare-root trees, as bales or in containers is also reflected in the price.
How much does a copper beech cost?
The price for a copper beech varies depending on the size, type and form of delivery. Simple copper beeches for hedges are inexpensive (€60-70 for 25m of hedge), while decorative trees such as weeping copper beeches (from €300) or weeping copper beeches (from €500) are more expensive. They are available in nurseries or online.
What does the price of a copper beech depend on?
- Simple European Beech
- Hanging European Beech
- Columbian Beech
- Weeping Copper Beech
- High trunk
Various forms of copper beech are available commercially. Simple copper beeches are rarely planted in the garden as a single tree. Particularly decorative forms such as copper beeches and hanging beeches can usually be found in gardens and parks.
These have their price, however. For a green-leaved weeping European beech with a height of two meters and a trunk circumference of ten centimeters, you pay from 300 euros upwards.
A refined weeping copper beech with the same dimensions, on the other hand, costs from 500 euros and up. (As of September 2016).
The size upon delivery plays a role
If you are in a hurry, buy a copper beech that is already a few years old and has reached a certain height. The price of these trees depends on the circumference of the trunk. The thicker it is, the older the beech tree is and the more money you have to pay for the tree.
Common beeches for hedges are inexpensive
If you need copper beeches for a hedge, you can get it cheaper. The trees are usually offered in larger quantities in different sizes.
For 25 meters of red beech hedge, 60 to 70 euros are often enough. (As of September 2016).
Where do you buy a European beech?
If you would like to choose your European beech tree yourself and get expert advice, you should visit a local tree nursery. The price for the copper beech is higher there, but the delivery route is short, and if something doesn't work, the experts will come to your home.
It is cheaper to order the European beech online. However, you have no influence on which copper beech is delivered. The advice is often not very intensive and the tree is often on the move for several days.
Tip
Common beeches can be propagated via seeds or cuttings. If the price for a finished beech tree is too high for you and you have enough time and patience, you can also grow your own beech tree yourself.
