A large tree for a large space. Excellent shade tree for large lawns and parks. Best grown in deep, rich, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Intolerant of wet, poorly drained soils. Reportedly tolerates a wider range of soils than American beech. Foliage turns golden bronze in fall.
