This is a Purple 'Rohanni' Euro Beech that I have had for 10+ years. It was small, maybe 12" when I bought it in a 1 gal pot. It had a weeping top and it's hard to find anything actually small in landscape nurseries. I don't remember what I paid for it, but I was happy to find a weeping purple Beech that small. It was just about ready to show in 2012, but the first winter from Hell intervened killed the weeping part of the top. The second year from Hell '12-'13, finished off everything from the ground-up. It put up a couple twigs and I just let it grow.
This variety has very slender wood which is what I admired in it originally, and I wanted to grow something to help it revive so I just let go for several years and wired it a couple years ago to give it some movement, but without a real plan. This year I let it go again, and just wired it for winter here...
There are two trunks, the right one in front of the left one. This is hard to see in two dimensions, but it's a pretty wild and intreguing design that will be made only a little more compact as it adds ramification withing the profile.
