Today we want to share the American Beech (Fargus Garndiflolia) tree with you. It can easily be found in the forest this time of year. The American Beech stands out with its smooth, whitish gray bark throughout its trunk and branches and it is the only tree other than our evergreens, holding on to it’s old leaves from last year. This tree can grow to be 50-115 ft. tall and to be 400 years old! Some of the oldest beeches in America can be found in Pennsylvania and are estimated to be 366 years ol
