American Beech
American Beech
Help visitors recognize a massive native hardwood. This 9 x 12-inch trail sign explains that the American beech spreads its low-growing branches wide, and its glossy green leaves cast such dense shade that they limit the growth of understory plants. Its thin, smooth silver-gray bark comes to resemble elephant skin with age, and its spiky pods open to reveal tiny beechnuts, a favorite food of birds, mammals and early settlers.
- Detailed leaf and branch illustration
- Smooth, silver-gray "elephant skin" bark
