Beech Forest

When it comes time to identify the iconic leaf of New England's fall season, it is almost always the red and gold of our Maples. Who can argue, Maple trees in full display are spectacular, but they are also short lived and fragile. As someone who is in it for the entire season, I would like to honor the tree which, although not the most spectacular, does more to extend the beauty of autumn, the under-appreciated American Beech.

 

Come praise the Beech on this week's blog:
