About
The formal and stately American Beech holds a special place in many hearts. The wide-spreading canopy provides great shade in the Summer and beautiful golden bronze coloring in the Fall. It also displays an attractive smooth, silvery gray-colored bark. This magnificent tree requires some space as it can grow pretty large and is highly versatile - often used in parks, golf courses, acreages and in the forestry industry. The American Beech is not a tree you plant for fast growth and quick shade - this slow grower is planted for future generations to enjoy. And what a lovely legacy for you to leave!
Wildlife
The four tiny beechnuts in each spiny bur are prized by a wide range of birds, chipmunks, squirrels and some discerning humans.
Quirky Facts
There was a Beech tree on the old stage road between Blountsville and Jonesboro, Tennessee that had an inscription carved into the trunk that read "D. Boone Cilled A Bar On Tree In Year 1760." The tree fell in 1916 and had a girth of 28-1/2 feet. The Forest Service estimated the tree's age to be 365 years, fully two centuries old before Daniel Boone could of inscribed it.
