The European Beech and its varieties should be at the top of everyone's list of desirable large shade trees. This dense, upright oval or wide spreading tree typically reaches 50-60' (uncommonly up to 100'). Glossy dark-green leaves up to 4" long have prominent veins. Inconspicuous yellow-green flowers become edible beechnuts in the autumn. The foliage becomes a rich golden-copper in autumn. Fagus trees make a splendid specimen for large gardens or parks. S-PSh/M
