beech
Noun
pl: beeches
This term refers specifically to trees of the Fagus genus. In a botanical context, it is often distinguished from the birch tree, which has similar white or light-colored bark but different leaf structures and growth patterns.
While the word primarily identifies the living tree, it is frequently used as an attributive noun to describe products made from its wood, such as beech furniture or beech nuts, denoting a material known for its hardness and fine grain.
