European Beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Arborist Representative Harrison Shaw of Bartlett Tree Experts’ Ashland, Massachusetts office helps property owners care for many tree species in the greater Boston area. Here he discusses European beech. This species is a popular plant in New England because of its all-season beauty and majestic size. It's significant in the area because it was commonly planted early on as a feature tree in American landscapes. It's also important for the birds and animals in the area over the winter because it is a great food source. With American beech, you'll find them up into Canada, stretching down to the Appalachian Trail east to west from the coast as far as the state of Michigan. European beech have a similar range. Both will vary based on elevation. There are dozens of different kinds of European beech, including copper beech, fern leaf beach and tri-color beech to name a few. They generally prefer acidic, loamy, moist, sandy soil that's well draining. The leaves of European beech are somewhat shorter and wider than those of the American beech. A number of insect and disease pests attack European beech. Phytophthora bleeding canker is one serious concern. Another more recent issue is beech leaf disease, which is caused by a foliar feeding nematode. Beech leaf disease, as threatening as it may be, is manageable with the right treatment program. The best approach to keeping European beach healthy is preventative care, starting with soil care, pruning, maintenance and preventative treatments.
