Mature Size: Large Shade Tree

Hardiness Zone: 3 thru 9

Outstanding Characteristics: American Beech is a grand native tree, slow growing but reaching tremendous size. Smooth light gray bark and, in dormancy, light brown persistent foliage will make this tree stand out in the landscape.

Notes: Prefers well drained soil. Typically found in the south on ridges adjacent to bottomland. Great roosting tree for turkeys!
