Beech

Beech comprises a large family of trees and shrubs known for their robust wood and lobed leaves, often found in temperate climates. The acorns they produce, which serve as vital food for wildlife, are key for seed dispersal. Their broad, dense canopies often dominate forest landscapes, playing a crucial ecological role in carbon storage and biodiversity support.
