Question 1: Which kind of tree is in today’s image?
- Beech
- Pine
- Willow
Correct Answer: Beech
Fact: Beech trees, part of the Fagus genus, thrive in temperate forests across Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. Among them, the European beech dominates forests in countries like Belgium, Germany, and France. These trees can grow impressively tall, often reaching a height of 160 feet. Their towering statures and dense canopies provide vital shelter and food for a variety of wildlife, such as black bears, foxes, squirrels, and more.
Question 2: What type of soil does the European beech tree grow in?
- Moist and well-drained
- Sandy and dry
- Rocky and compact
Correct Answer: Moist and well-drained
Fact: European beeches thrive in moist, well-drained soils typically found in temperate forests. They prefer fertile conditions that support their deep roots and expansive canopies. Their shallow root systems are highly sensitive to water availability. Moist soil ensures they receive enough water to support their large canopies, while good drainage prevents waterlogging, which can lead to root rot and reduced oxygen supply.
Question 3: Which country’s national tree is the beech?
- Denmark
- Norway
- Belgium
Correct Answer: Denmark
Fact: The European beech is the most common forest tree in Denmark and the country’s national tree. In springtime, Danish people pick beech leaves to use in different dishes, often in salads. Some of the oldest beech trees in Denmark can be found in the Møns Klint region; these trees are over 400 years old.
