Tree of
the Month
Copper Beech
Fagus
sylvatixa
|
Color is the operative word for this
tree. The Copper Beech is a gigantic
shade tree, produces tiny nuts, and is a
frequently planted as an ornamental
because of its beauty, which is of the
grand scale. Silvery, smooth bark on a
great large trunk distinguishes beeches
even in winter. The bluntish leaves are
shaped like an egg in outline. Since
most of the nuts |
 |
|
are hollow, and squirrels eat most that
are not, beeches are not valued on
that account. Related to oaks, its
wood is less useful. This particular
specimen resides in Rockville, CT and is
105 years old. The trunk alone
measures over 10 feet across at the base
and the tree dwarfs the 3 story home it
has stood in front of for all it's life. |
