Beech
Fagus sylvatica
European beech is a majestic deciduous tree that requires well-draining, slightly acidic soil and protection from strong winds. It needs consistent moisture during establishment but becomes quite drought-tolerant with age. Plant in full sun to partial shade with plenty of space for its impressive mature canopy.
