American Beech! Fagus grandifolia is a magnificent deciduous tree native to eastern North America. Here's some information about the American Beech:

  1. Appearance: The American Beech is a large tree that can reach heights of 50-70 feet (15-21 meters) or more. It has a broad, spreading canopy with smooth, gray bark. The leaves are oval-shaped, dark green, and have a wavy margin. In the fall, they turn a beautiful golden bronze color.

  2. Habitat: American Beech trees are commonly found in forests, particularly in moist, well-drained soils. They are shade-tolerant and often grow alongside other tree species.

  3. Wildlife Value: The American Beech provides valuable habitat and food for various wildlife. Its nuts, known as beechnuts, are an important food source for birds, squirrels, and other small mammals. The tree's dense foliage also offers shelter for wildlife.
