Beech tree question

[Graham]

A copper/purple beech can be from seed or grafted. Those from seed can be quite variable in colour. To maintain true to type colour then they are grafted from selected clones but they are all copper/purple beech.

I'm going to have to think about this now and my heads full of force flows, notch stresses and branch attachments:confused1:

 

This will answer your question r.e synonyms Search results ? The Plant List

 

Don't waste time on it. The answer is that for some time now it has been unacceptable for variety names to use latinised terms like 'Purpurea' and/or 'Pendula'. Thus if a purple beech was found or cultivated for the first time now it would possibly be named Fagus sylvatica 'Weeping Purple'.
