You are bidding on 15 FERNLEAF EUROPEAN BEECH SEEDS - Fagus sylvatica ‘Asplenifolia’ . A highly ornamental tree that has long finely cut green leaves and dense ascending branches. Deeply cut dark green leaves are unlike any other beech and give the tree a willowy appearance.The branching gives the tree the appearance of closely layered, fan like sprays.Throughout the summer, it is a dark glossy green turning a sumptuous golden yellow in autumn. Height: 60-80 ftWidth: 35-45 ftZONE - 4 and warmer Medicinal use of Beech: The bark is antacid, antipyretic, antiseptic, antitussive, expectorant, odontalgic. A tar (or creosote), obtained by dry distillation of the branches, is stimulating and antiseptic. It is used internally as a stimulating expectorant and externally as an application to various skin diseases. The pure creosote has been used to give relief from toothache, but it should not be used without expert guidance. Edible parts of Beech: Young leaves - raw. A very nice mild flavor, they go well in a mixed salad. However, the leaves quickly become tough so only the youngest should be used. New growth is usually produced for 2 periods of 3 weeks each year, one in spring and one in mid-summer. Seed - raw or cooked. A pleasant sweet flavor, though rather small and fiddly. The seed can also be dried and ground into a powder and then used with cereal flours when making bread, cakes etc. The seed is rich in oil .Other uses of : A semi-drying oil is obtained from the seed, it is used as a fuel for lighting, as a lubricant, for polishing wood etc. The seed residue is poisonous.
