Nothofagus antarctica

Small, glossy, heart-shaped leaves with attractive undulating margins give the Antarctic Beech an interesting appearance. Nothofagus Antarctica is quick growing, forming a conical, often multi-stemmed deciduous tree. It has an irregular, fishbone branching habit, which creates a particularly light and airy canopy with maturity. The late spring flowers are lightly scented, albeit fairly inconspicuous to look at. In autumn the foliage turns to buttery gold before falling to reveal smooth brown bark with silvery lenticels. This hardy tree tolerates most sites except for shallow or chalky soils. Height: 15m (49?). Spread: 10m (32?).Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
