Brown Beech | Fagus sylvatica 'Atropunicea'
There are several species of beech, but this species is only found in Europe. Beech is part of the Fagaceae family.
The Beech is part of the Fagaceae family. Beech trees don't want to grow everywhere. The tree occurs in the end-stage of forest development. The soil should be moist and well-draining. A good amount of humus is good for the development of the tree. The groundwater level should not be too high and certainly not too dry.
The beech lives in symbiosis with a fungus. Without the fungus, the tree will have difficulty growing.
When they grow, they can become quite large. In forests, 35 meters is no exception. If they have the space, they can also become very wide. Because of the acidic leaves and the dense crown, little will grow under a beech. Beech forests are therefore very open.
