Fagus sylvatica commonly known as European Beech is a very resilient tree that can be grown in full sun or part shade, but it prefers well-drained soils. Be aware this plant may not do well when planted away from open spaces because its roots are shallow and sensitive to wet conditions which could lead them to rot easily if left standing water for long periods after heavy rain events happen nearby where you're planning on planting the saplings out feet first. www.instanthedge.com/european-beech-hedge/
