Plant Facts
Quick Answer
Copper Beech pollen is shown in this guide as a red and rust tone. It is listed as tree, associated with spring bloom timing, USDA zone 4 - 7, and pollen forage value.
Pollen Color Notes
The visual color shown for Copper Beech is grouped broadly with red and rust pollen tones. It is intended for comparison and identification support, not as a laboratory measurement.
Pollen color is highly variable. Lighting, pollen age, moisture, collection method, cultivar, and local growing conditions can all change how pollen appears. Use this as general visual guidance, not a scientific color standard or guaranteed field match.
Bloom, Zone, and Forage Context
Copper Beech is listed for spring. The record lists USDA zone 4 - 7; hardiness zones are planning context, not a precise flowering calendar. Approximate bloom months in the supplemental notes: April, May.
Its forage type is pollen, with pollen value marked as medium. Like common beech, it is wind-pollinated and offers pollen rather than nectar; bee collection is opportunistic.
Identification Notes
A purple-leaved horticultural form of European beech with smooth gray bark and the same hanging male and paired female flowers as the species.
Flower color note: Greenish to yellow-brown. Flower color and pollen color may differ.
