Beech
Credit
: Ludovic Imberdis - PNE
Description
To thrive, it needs a moist atmosphere and well-drained soil. It can grow up to 40 m in height. Beech is distinguished by its smooth, grey trunk. Its branches are horizontal and its oval leaves have wavy edges with cilia. The pyramid-shaped fruits, known as beechnuts, are contained in a spiky husk that opens in early autumn. Beech is also commonly known as "fayard".
