Fagus sylvatica, commonly known as European beech, is a deciduous tree native to Europe. It grows up to 40 meters tall with a round, spreading crown and smooth silver-grey bark. The leaves are dark green and shiny, turning golden brown during autumn. The tree produces small flowers in spring that develop into edible nuts enclosed in spiky burrs. Fagus sylvatica is widely cultivated as an ornamental tree in parks and gardens, but it also plays an important role in the forestry industry due to its dense wood that is ideal for furniture-making and flooring. Its roots have been used for medicinal purposes, while the leaves have been used for making dyes and loom strings. Additionally, Fagus sylvatica can reduce air pollution as it has an ability to absorb harmful particles from the environment.
