Flowering Period

Fagus sylvatica 'Mercedes' is a charming cultivar of green beech that stands out for its compact growth and slow development. This variety features finely textured, deeply cut foliage that creates a soft, fern-like appearance, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or sophisticated landscape designs. Its unique, narrow leaves are intricately incised, giving the plant a delicate, lacy look that adds an elegant touch to any setting.

As the seasons change, the foliage of 'Mercedes' transforms beautifully. In spring, the leaves emerge in a vibrant shade of green, which deepens as summer progresses. By autumn, they may take on gentle golden hues, providing a stunning visual display. The plant maintains a dense, rounded to upright form, making it ideal for various applications such as hedging, specimen planting, or adding architectural interest to garden layouts.

This deciduous tree thrives best in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil to flourish. It is also tolerant of pruning and shaping, which allows for versatility in both formal and naturalistic garden settings. While it typically sheds its leaves in winter, it often retains some dried foliage, a characteristic common among beeches. Hardy in most regions of the UK, Fagus sylvatica 'Mercedes' is a resilient choice for gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with a touch of elegance. Height: 200 cm (6.5 ft). Spread: 150 cm (5 ft).

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
