watering

European Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Tricolor') needs to be watered once per week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly but avoid overwatering. When you water, soak the soil until the water runs out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Be sure not to let the plant sit in water. During the winter months, water less frequently, but never allow the soil to become completely dry.

sunlight

European beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Tricolor') is a species of deciduous tree native to Europe. This plant species prefers medium to full sunlight and benefits from 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Additionally, European beech tolerates partial shade as well, particularly in locations with hot summers. In USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9, this species usually performs best when exposed to full sunlight for most of the day.

pruning

European beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Tricolor') should be pruned in the late winter months when it is dormant. Pruning can be done to shape and control the size of the tree, or to remove any dead or diseased branches. Light pruning can be done any time of year, as often as is needed to maintain desired shape or size. However, more significant pruning should be done during the winter dormant season. Always be sure to follow proper pruning techniques, making sure to make cuts just outside the branch collar and only removing no more than 1 third of the total tree crown at 1 time.
