Date Location Notes Images
July 3, 2009 Southeastern New Hampshire 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.
