beech question

**j* e* m* s* <h*@sbcglobal.net>**

Has anyone grown or used this beech in a landscape?

Fagus sylvatica purpurea 'Nana'

A landscaper spec'd this plant for a client's area that can get and 
stay pretty wet. I don't think of beech as being able to handle wet 
feet...in fact, drainage is real important for most beech.

But I don't know this one and am having a lot of difficulty finding 
any information on the Web, etc.

Anything you can tell me?

Thanks.
