The History and Nature of Beech Trees

Beech trees were historically planted near monasteries and estate grounds because their dense canopy created shaded walkways. Beech wood was also commonly used to make wooden writing tablets before paper became widely available in Europe. The smooth gray bark of the beech tree remains recognizable even during winter months.

  • Beech leaves: glossy dark green in summer, shifting to copper-orange or golden brown in fall
