The Beech, European, Fagus sylvatica, displays a dense, upright, oval form and is native to Europe. It grows more easily under cultivation than the American Beech, and has become a very popular ornamental tree in the United States. It is widely planted as a shade tree in northeastern and Pacific states. With its changing colors, European Beech remains a beautiful tree all year-round. Its leaves are a shimmering green when unfolding, then turning to a darker green in summer. In the fall, the leaves turn a rich russet brown. This beech prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun.
