Also called White, Red, or Ridge Beech, this large, deciduous tree typically grows 50 to 80 feet tall with a dense, rounded crown. Its foliage turns golden bronze in the fall, and its flowers lead to triangular nuts enclosed by spiny bracts that also ripen in the fall months. American Beech is resistant to browsing by deer, and grows best in partial shade and moist, rich, well-drained soils.
