During the autumn season, the leaves turn yellow, then brown through the winter and fall off prior to the emergence of new leaves. Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck Gold’ is ideal for use in limited space and makes an excellent choice as a street tree. Fagus sylvatica is deciduous and native to Europe. Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck Gold’ is a seedling of Fagus sylvatica ‘Dawyck Green’ that was raised in 1968 by Dick van Hoey-Smith at the Trompenburg Arboretum in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
