Buy the American beech tree at TN nursery, also the American Beech is commonly known as the Carolina Beech is well known in the southern states and in some deciduous forests in Maine. This tree can be found at many tree nurseries and at full maturity can reach maximum heights of up to 90 feet. This tree can have a span of up to 50 feet. The bark is smooth and gray while the leaves are rich and dark green in color. The winter twigs are distinctive among North American trees, being long and slender with two rows of overlapping scales on the buds. This beech tree is a shade-tolerant species, favoring shade more than other trees, commonly found in forests in the final stage of succession. The wood is heavy, hard, tough and strong, and, until the advent of the modern chainsaw, during lumbering beech trees were often left uncut to grow. As a result, many areas today still have extensive groves of old beeches that would not otherwise occur. Today, the wood is harvested for uses such as flooring, containers, furniture, handles and woodenware.
