Branch out this Christmas and buy beech trees from our shop! The Common beech (Fagus sylvatica) is often seen as a feminine tree and particularly elegant examples may earn the name 'Queen beech'. Beech woodlands are characterised by a carpet of crispy fallen leaves and nut casings on the ground. This species can live for hundreds of years, with coppiced stands living for more than 1,000 years. Buy your own beech tree from our online shop: http://www.woodlandtru.st/SaBTI | The Woodland Trust
