watering
European beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii') requires weekly watering during its growing season (spring to autumn). During this period, give the plant enough water so that the soil is moist, but not soggy. In winter, water your European beech no more than once a month, or only when the top of the soil feels dry. Remember to check the soil moisture level before you water the plant.
sunlight
European Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii') plants thrive in locations that provide full sun to partial shade. Partial shade is recommended in hotter climates, such as those in the southeastern United States, as these plants are sensitive to intense heat and direct sunlight in those regions. In cooler areas, or during cooler seasons, the plants can handle full sun for 4 to 6 hours per day. In warmer climates, they should be protected from direct sunlight in late afternoon and early evening to avoid leaf burn and other damage.
pruning
European beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii') requires minimal pruning; in most cases, only light pruning is necessary. Pruning should occur just after the plant has flowered in the spring. During this time, annual pruning should be done to remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches. It is also recommended to trim the branches that are too close to the ground, as well as those that are growing inward, as these can create a crowded growth habit. Avoid removing more than about a third of the foliage, as this will cause stress to the tree.
