Copper beech
Whilst on a walk today my OH and I noticed that copper beech 'hedges' were still in full leaf (albeit copper coloured) but the beech 'trees' maybe had only one or two copper coloured leaves still clinging on. Are they different varieties or does the act of clipping the hedges make the leaves stay on somehow?

Frost never bothers them, even though we often get them from October onwards, but the constant dampness probably helps a good bit with foliage retention.
