European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is an excellent shade tree, native to Europe. This deciduous tree grows slowly to 80 feet tall and 50 feet wide with an upright, oval form. Dark shiny green leaves turn yellow to rust-colored in fall. Spring flowers are insignificant, but small nuts that follow attract birds and squirrels.
Several cultivars offer differing forms and foliage colors. Provide full sun and well-drained soil in USDA Zones 4–7. No serious problems. Propagation details not specified.
