Fagus sylvatica Frisio Prismatic

Frisio Prismatic European Beech

NOTE - This selection was named and released exclusively by Nothing Normal Nursery in the fall of 2026. The origin as a branch sport from an already obscure cultivar dictates that certain predictions as to dimensions and overall habit may be subject to change as further evaluations are needed.

Habit

Dwarf to semi-dwarf. This selection is a new derivative of the seldom seen cultivar 'Frisio', as such we can provide an educated guess that it will likely follow the habits of the parent. Slow growing, dense upright, eventually forming a narrow oblong, becoming slightly wider at the base with age.

Foliage & Bark

Typical beech leaf in outline. The dark purple leaf-like central pattern is irregularly edged with generous amounts of rich pink in various arrangements all along the blade. The pink gives way to green and the pink to a light pastel as the season progresses. The overall scheme is reminiscent of the famed cultivar 'Aureomarginata', considering our evaluations in full sun are incomplete, a sighting to protect from afternoon exposure might be prudent.
