Fagus Sylvatica; European Beech; Common Beech; Start Of Spring, 19th April

Copper beech hedging (Fagus sylvatica). The leaves of beech are often not abscissed in the autumn and instead remain on the tree until the spring. This process is called marcescence. This particularly occurs when trees are saplings or when plants are clipped as a hedge (making beech hedges attractive screens, even in winter), but it also often continues to occur on the lower branches when the tree is mature.
