Never heard of a fern leaf beech. Is this different to a cut leaf beech?

 

same thing I think steve, fagus sylvatica 'Aspleniifolia' but Robs your man for specific Nomenclature:thumbup1:

[RobArb]

The cut-leaved and the fern-leaved beech both come under the Fagus sylvatica 'Heterophylla group', with the fern leaf being the extreme version of the cut leaf and known as Fagus sylvatica 'Aspleniifolia' as Tony stated:thumbup:

thanks for that rob, was going to have a look at it in detail as ive noted some variance and that explains that!

 

do you know if they have different cultivar names?

[RobArb]

Not that I'm aware of. 'Aspleniifolia' is the cultivar fern-leaved beech where as the cut-leaved beech comes under that 'Heterophylla GROUP', I know the red/copper cut-leaved beech is 'Rohanii' but it gets rather complicated and a bit muddled in interpretation after that with both the red and green varieties, as the trees being very similar and only determined really by chromosomes.
