Common Name: American beech
Scientific Name: Fagus grandifolia
Category: Champion (big) tree
Comments: This beech is just so huge with such a huge wide canopy. Two six foot men cannot quite reach around it at shoulder height. It sits in a small old growth forest on a stony ridge with other beeches, above naked creek in Albemarle County. It is wonderfully symetrical with giant upper trunks.
