American beech

Fagus grandifolia, the American beech or North American beech, is a species of tree growing to 16–35 meters tall. It is one of two beech species native to North America, the other occurring in Mexico. It flourished over most of the continent prior to the last ice age, but is now limited to the east. The tree is shade tolerant and found in forests in the final stage of succession.
