Detailed Description
The tree reaches heights of up to about 25 m with diameters of up to 100 cm at the most, but mostly smaller. The shaft is knot-free up to 10 m, has a consistently splayed back and grows irregularly. The bark is olive green on one-year-old twigs, brown-red on 2 to 3-year-old twigs, and grey and smooth from about the sixth year.
Contrary to what its German names suggest, it is not closely related to the (only beech species represented in Central Europe) copper beech (Fagus sylvatica). Rather, it belongs to the genus Fagus within the beech family (Fagaceae). Only hornbeam and copper beech belong to the same order (beech-like (Fagales)).
