Can you give me a list of purple beech cultivars?
There are several Fagus sylvatica varieties with purple foliage:
‘Atropunicea’ (copper beech, purple beech) alt. ‘Riversii’ or ‘Purpurea’ – 50-60 feet tall, 35-45 feet wide; good in containers
‘Dawyck Purple’ – columnar to 70 feet tall and 15 feet wide
‘Purpurea Pendula’ (weeping copper beech) – usu. no more than 10 feet tall and wide; good in containers
‘Red Obelisk’ – columnar

And from Paghat, the website of a Seattle area gardener:
F.sylvatica ‘Black Swan’ – swan neck growth habit
F.sylvatica ‘Rohani’
