American beech

American beech is monoecious and wind-pollinated, but nut production is highly variable and irregular — large mast crops occur every 2–5 years, driven by weather patterns; at least two trees (ideally a grove) dramatically improves mast yield in any given year. The triangular beechnuts are sweet and nutritious, high in fat and protein, and valued by both wildlife and people; they are best eaten raw or lightly roasted and are traditionally used for oil extraction. Beech is extremely sensitive to soil compaction and grade changes around the root zone — construction damage is the primary killer of mature trees in urban settings. Plant in deep, moist, well-drained, acidic soil away from construction zones and plan for very long-term production: significant nut crops typically begin 10+ years after planting. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 480–960 дюймів Висота: 480–960 дюймів Дні до схожості: null–null Температура ґрунту для схожості: -18–-18°C
