Fagus grandifolia Fagaceae

This American beech is a slow grower with a height up to circa 30 m. Growth and shape are similar to F. sylvatica.

The green leaves are oval to linear-ovate and strikingly large for a beech: 6 - 15 cm. The slightly upwards pointing leaf margin is toothed. The young leaf is thickly covered with short, soft hairs. In autumn the colour of the leaf turns into golden yellow to brown. The inflorescence is inconspicuous and after the flowering it forms 1.5. cm - 2 cm long woody fruits, covered with brushy prickles. the tree roots shallowly and thrives well in richer, loamy soil with a high humus content. Rather sensitive to wind.
