De rode beuk, Remarkable tree in Amsterdam New Eastern Cemetery, Netherlands.
De rode beuk is a copper beech of substantial size growing in the cemetery grounds. Its distinctive purple-red foliage remains visible throughout the growing season and makes it stand out in the landscape.
The tree took root during the late 1800s when Amsterdam New Eastern Cemetery was established. Its growth spans the entire modern history of the site.
The tree reflects the Dutch approach to cemetery design, where green spaces and planting serve as part of remembrance and reflection. Its deep red foliage creates a quiet visual presence among the graves.
The tree is easy to find by following the main paths through the cemetery in the Amsterdam-Oost district. The site is well-connected by public transport and walking routes.
Few visitors know that this copper beech is one of the oldest and longest-standing plants in the cemetery. Its striking purple-red color makes it recognizable even during late fall and early spring.
