Description: Beech trees are very common, mainly as planted specimens in parks and demesnes, but they produce abundant viable seed and spontaneous self-sown trees occur in many places in the lowlands. The tree is not a native of Ireland but was brought from England by landowners to improve their properties. Probably most of the planting took place after about 1700.
