Large leaves with coarse toothing and parallel veins. Smooth gray bark. A little
bit like smaller Elm leaves, but Elms do not have smooth bark. These trees were
one of the most common trees on the Pitch Pine Trail and Salt Lick Trail at Bear
Brook State Park, NH. The nut (seed) from the American Beech is produced in
September or October.
