American Beech TREE
About the American Beech
:
The American Beech tree, Fagus Grandifolia, has a
short trunk, with a spreading crown and is a very
stately tree. These beech trees have thin, smooth
blue-gray bark. The American Beech grows best in
full sun, but will withstand partial shade. The
fagus grandifolia grows robust in well-drained,
moist acid soil; but will not stand compaction.
This deciduous species has leaves that are a
beautiful dark green in the summer and turn to a
golden brown fall color. The foliage on young
American Beech remains in winter. This beech tree is
a dense shade tree whose nuts attract birds and
squirrels. American Beech trees have a slow to
moderate growth rate. |
