Product Overview
The European Beech and its varieties should be at the top of everyone's list of desirable large shade trees. This dense, upright oval or wide spreading tree typically reaches 50-60' (uncommonly up to 100'). Glossy dark-green leaves up to 4" long have prominent veins. Inconspicuous yellow-green flowers become edible beechnuts in the autumn. The foliage becomes a rich golden-copper in autumn. Fagus trees make a splendid specimen for large gardens or parks. S-PSh/M
