‘Dawyck’ beech (sometimes spelled Daywick) is renowned for its narrow, fastigiate form, rising 15–20 m but only 3–4 m wide, perfect for avenues or tight spaces. Fresh green foliage turns golden‑brown in fall, and smooth bark provides year‑round elegance. Thrives on chalk or loam, hardy to −25 °C and withstands moderate pruning to retain its columnar outline, creating instant vertical drama.
