- Synopsis
- In this image of a beech tree, the trunk stems from the bottom centre of the page and the leafy branches are in the middle of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is a picture of a beech leaf in the top left and a picture of a beech nut in the top right of the page. The leaf stem is to the top right of the leaf itself. The nut is similarly positioned. For scale there is a 'stick man' representing the height of an adult person in the bottom right of the page. The beech tree grows to a tall full tidy tree of up to 40 metres high. It has a medium thick trunk. It matures at about 120 years old when it all but stops growing, although it can live for some considerable time after this. In Saxon times pigs would be driven into beech woods to feed on the nut-like seeds, which are sometimes called 'mast'.
