Fagus sinensis, the long-petiole beech, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fagaceae.[2] It is native to central and southern China and northern Vietnam.[1] A slow-growing tree reaching 25 m (82 ft) and spreading to half as wide, the Royal Horticultural Society recommends it for its yellow fall foliage, but only for "architectural" applications in large gardens.[2] Cold-hardy, it is available from commercial nurseries.[2]
