Beech is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to Europe, Asia, and North America
Beech grows on a wide range of soil types, acidic or basic. The tree canopy casts dense shade, and carpets the ground thickly with leaf litter.
In North America, they often form beech-maple forests by partnering with the sugar maple.
