What does BEECH mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A large deciduous tree with smooth grey bark and edible triangular nuts, or the pale wood from this tree.
Beech trees are common across temperate woodlands, recognised by their smooth grey trunks, glossy oval leaves and dense summer canopy that shades out most plants growing beneath them. In autumn the tree produces small triangular nuts called beechmast, which fall in husks and once served as food for both animals and people. The pale, close-grained wood cut from beech is valued for furniture, flooring and kitchen tools because it is hard, smooth and resistant to splitting. Beech woodland is also ecologically distinctive, since the thick leaf litter and heavy shade favour only a limited range of woodland plants.
