Fagus sylvatica
Fagus sylvatica is a magnificent native deciduous tree, valued for its smooth grey bark, elegant branching habit and fresh green spring foliage. The leaves mature to a deeper green through summer before turning warm golden-copper and russet shades in autumn.
Common Beech is best suited to larger gardens, parkland and avenue planting, where it can develop into a broad, imposing specimen tree. It also offers excellent wildlife value, with mature trees providing shelter and nesting opportunities, while the bristly fruits contain beech nuts.
