	~~__NOTOC__{{Plantbox~~		The '''Fagus grandifolia''' also known as '''American Beech''' is a species of [[beech]] native to eastern [[North America]], from [[Nova Scotia]] west to [[Southern Ontario\|southern]] [[Ontario]] in southeastern [[Canada]], west to [[Wisconsin]] and south to eastern [[Texas]] and northern [[Florida]] in the [[United States]]. Trees in the southern half of the range are sometimes distinguished as a variety, ''F. grandifolia'' var. ''caroliniana'', but this is not considered distinct in the Flora of North America. A related beech native to the mountains of central [[Mexico]] is sometimes treated as a subspecies of American Beech, but more often as a distinct species, [[Mexican Beech]] ''Fagus mexicana''.
	~~\| name =~~ ''~~LATINNAME~~'' ~~<!--- replace LATINNAME with the actual latin name -->~~
	\| ~~common_names = <!--- if multiple~~, ~~list all~~, ~~if none~~, ~~leave blank -->~~		It is a [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to {{convert\|20\|-\|35\|m\|abbr=on}} tall, with smooth, silver-gray [[bark]]. The [[leaf\|leaves]] are dark green, simple and sparsely-toothed with small teeth, {{convert\|6\|-\|12\|cm\|abbr=on}} long (rarely {{convert\|15\|cm}}), with a short [[Petiole (botany)\|petiole]]. The winter twigs are distinctive among North American trees, being long and slender ({{convert\|15\|-\|20\|mm\|abbr=on}} by {{convert\|2\|-\|3\|mm\|abbr=on}}) with two rows of overlapping scales on the buds. The tree is [[plant sexuality\|monoecious]], with flowers of both sexes on the same tree. The [[fruit]] is a small, sharply-angled [[nut (fruit)\|nut]], borne in pairs in a soft-spined, four-lobed husk.

Although sometimes found in pure stands, it is more often associated with [[Sugar Maple]] (forming the [[Beech-maple forest\|Beech-Maple climax community]]), [[Yellow Birch]], and [[Eastern Hemlock]], typically on moist well drained slopes and rich bottomlands. Near its southern limit, it often shares canopy dominance with [[Magnolia grandiflora\|Southern Magnolia]].
