European Beech
(fagus sylvatica)

Naturally low branched tree with attractive glossy green ovate leaves which look similar in appearance to those of a Hornbeam. Variable leaves that are generally a bit wider than Japanese Beech. Smooth silvery-gray bark is quite ornamental. The bark looks like elephant skin on older specimens. The wood is almost white and is used most often in toys and furniture. The most distinctive feature of the Beech is its unmistakable cigar-shaped buds. These buds are rather tender. Natures way of protecting these buds is for the Beech to retain its dead leaves through the winter. Deciduous. Keep outdoors.
