The flowering Copper Beech The briefest of glories In late spring there's one natural spectacle that never fails to impress For a fleetingly brief moment in time the magnificent copper beech steal the show, delicate leaves catching sunlight, glowing a vermilion red that you cannot fail to notice. The duration of this spectacle is literally just days before it passes, the leaves dulling down to their deep purply red that in grey light can appear almost black. This coincides with the flowering of the tree which you can easily miss, the catkin-like flowers <strong>and</strong> leaves covered in a soft downy fur to protect against the worst of sudden cold snaps. The tree is monoecious, meaning that both male <strong>and</strong> female flowers grow on the same tree. It's all so easy to miss, particularly if you work in an office, but it's worth seeking out a walk in late spring that takes you alongside these magnificent trees. Editor Copper Beech making the magnificent transition from soft orangy red, to vermilion, before finally dulling down to the deep purply black for the rest of the summer 92 Countryside, History, Walks, the Arts, Events & all things Devon at: DEVONSHIRE magazine.co.uk
