Fagus crenata, a deciduous tree found in high altitudes in mountainous regions, grows to 30m in height and 1m in diameter, with gray-white, smooth bark. Leaves are alternate, 4-9cm in length and 2-4cm in width, thin and somewhat stiff, with undulate margins. Flowers bloom simultaneously as the leaves develop; male inflorescences hang from the axils on the lower parts of new branches, with 6-15 flowers blooming in a bundle, while females appear from the axils on the upper parts. Bloom time: May.
