Formal, Stately and Highly Ornamental

American Beech Trees can grow almost anywhere in the country... from northern Minnesota to southern Texas.

They are ideal shade trees. They have long branches that create a large, dense shade canopy... protecting anything underneath from the hot summer sun.

The dark green leaves have a unique pattern that adds character to your yard... and they turn a bright bronze in the fall.

The beautiful blue-gray bark is very smooth and looks elegant in all seasons. The wood is very strong and is very damage resistant.

The American Beech Tree's nuts often attract many forms of wildlife, including pigeons, squirrels, and bluejays.

Beech Trees are typically understory trees, so they can grow in areas that don't get much sun. They're also very disease and insect resistant as well.
