Fagus Sylvatica - Beech
I found these beech trees in Longford park, its an impressive tree thats known for its strength and the furniture that gets produced from it. Beech trees can grow up to 30 - 40 meters high with a huge spreading crown and now can be found in many European countries. Its flowering season starts from april to may. This particular specimen is growing healthily and has spread its species around it.
Prefers well drained acidic soils.
Round and robust trunk.
Its bark is grey and smooth, mostly green with algae and becomes flakey when adult.
The twigs are brown and has long narrow brown pointed buds.
Its leaves are shiny, pointed and oval shaped. They are dark green and start turning brown in autumn.
