THE BEECH AND THE OTHER TREES
IT must surely be difficult to resist enthusiasm for beech trees when standing, at the close of April or beginning of May, under the young foliage of a Beech.
Belonging to the same family as the Oaks, the Beeches occur over a great part of the world. They are absent in Africa and in southern Asia; but clothe the hills alike of Japan, New Zealand, South Australia, Tasmania, Tierra del Fuego, North America, Norway, Spain, and Asia Minor, and Europe.
The Beech is generally fatal to grass, and injurious even to evergreens growing beneath it. The well-drained soil in which it delights is by it drained yet more thoroughly; so that it has a marked power of holding the ground against other species. This has earned for it the evil reputation of symbolizing selfish ambition, the ambition of a forest prince who, in his rivalry of the monarch Oak, "bears no rival near the throne." Though its leaves enrich the soil, this characteristic renders it perhaps better suited to the grove, the wilderness, or a corner of the park than to the garden lawn. Hollies and other evergreens, bracken and brambles will grow beneath its shade, and it must not be forgotten that it is a tree which, for the development of its highest beauty, should occupy an isolated position.
The woods of the East Beech and East Durmar are specific. They can be found mainly in the fresh places. The East Beech takes nearly 12% from a forest area of the Strandja mountain.One of the oldest Beech forest, which are situated on 22 000 acres, is situated in Bulgaria, in the Balkan mountain. It is the biggest and the oldest Beech forest in Europe.You can find the widest and the most beautiful Beech forest zone in Bulgaria near the town of Teteven. You should go there and see the beauty of the nature.
