1. Trees at Salve Regina

   1. European beech (ID #868)

      Fagus sylvatica

      Age: Mature

      Condition: Good
      
      In large quantities, beech nuts are slightly toxic to humans unless the tannins are leached out before eating (which also improves the flavor). After roasting, they can be ground to make a fine flour.
