New variety of beech Fagus moesiaca (K.Maly) Czecz. with golden-yellow leaves
2006
Tosic, M.
Obradovic-Licanin M. described in 1892 an old beech tree with golden-yellow leaves, on Vlasina in southeastern Serbia. It was the first finding of such beech in Europe. Spaeth L. from Berlin, having heard of this natural rarity, obtained the grafts and by producing the clone (Fagus silvatica Zlatia L. Spaeth), this beech was distributed in the European parks. The golden-leaf beech parent-tree on Vlasina was forgotten by the experts for a long time and it died due to old age, without being mass propagated in Serbia. The author found a new native golden-leaf beech tree near Kotor Varos in the Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina), which by its leaf colour, size and habit, gives an attractive appearance to the whole landscape. It is named Yellow Beech by the local population. Its leaf colour is similar to the leaves of the sun-lighted part of the crown of the tree on Vlasina, but due to some essential differences in other characteristics (morphological, physiological, i.e.), golden-leaf beech in the Republic of Srpska is given the rank of a new variety named Fagus moesiaca (K.Maly) Czecz. var aurea serbica Tosic, var. nov.
