The Fagus sylvatica 'Rohan Obelisk', commonly known as the Upright Rohan Beech, is a captivating tree renowned for its narrow, columnar growth habit. This deciduous specimen is a variety of the European Beech, distinguished by its elegant, upright form and dense foliage. The leaves are a striking deep purple in colour, providing a dramatic contrast to its smooth, grey bark. In the fall, the foliage turns to a rich copper hue, adding seasonal interest to any landscape.

Key features of the Upright Rohan Beech include its mature height and spread. At maturity, this tree typically reaches a height of about 10-12 meters and maintains a narrow spread of approximately 2-3 meters, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or as a vertical accent in larger landscapes. Its slender profile makes it particularly suitable for planting in tight spaces where a majestic yet manageable tree is desired.

The Upright Rohan Beech thrives best in well-drained, fertile soils, though it can tolerate a range of soil types including clay, loam, and sandy soils. It prefers full sun to partial shade, which ensures optimal leaf coloration and growth. This tree is also relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its shape. Notable for its resilience and striking appearance, the Upright Rohan Beech is an excellent addition to gardens seeking a touch of elegance and a vertical focal point.
