"Strictly speaking, Beech is deciduous, but its crisp copper leaves, which
stay on the plant until pushed off by the new bright green growth in spring,
make it a great alternative to an evergreen hedge"
How true is the statement?
What suggestions can someone make for a colourful hedge that is evergreen?
The width of the hedge is about 30 feet and will be kept to a height of
around 5 feet tall
Location: North West
Soil type - not too sure
North facing

Why not try photinia red robin - makes and absulotely stunning hedge, incredibly colourful, easy to manage and fits all your criteria.
Also you will be in a minority because very few people have hedges using this plant.
