Beech
Beeches are trees of the genus Fagus, including about ten species in Europe, Asia, and North America. The leaves are entire and sparsely-toothed. The fruit is a small, sharply-angled nut, borne in pairs in spiny husks. The beech most commonly grown as an ornamental or shade tree is the European beech[?], Fagus sylvatica.
