Fagus grandiflora americana
The American Beech (Fagus grandifolia) is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It is characterized by its smooth, gray bark, dense foliage, and oval, serrated leaves that turn golden-bronze in the fall. Growing up to 100 feet tall, it thrives in rich, well-drained soils and forms an important component of mature forests. The tree produces small, triangular nuts encased in spiny husks, which provide food for wildlife. Valued for its aesthetic appeal and shade, the American Beech is also notable for its longevity and resilience.
