Description
The first heavy frost of the winter falls on a farm in Ireland. The remaining leaves on the trees have now turned brown and will fall within a day or two. The large tree on the left is an oak tree with a group of European beech trees behind it.
Due to the now regular high winds we get, this oak has lost several sizeable branches but it continues to be as majestic as ever.
An oak is a tree or shrub in the genus Quercus of the beech family, Fagaceae. There are approximately 600 different species of oaks. The common name "oak" also appears in the names of species in related genera, notably Lithocarpus (stone oaks), as well as in those of unrelated species such as Grevillea robusta (silky oaks) and the Casuarinaceae (she-oaks).
The genus Quercus is native to the Northern Hemisphere, and includes deciduous and evergreen species extending from cool temperate to tropical latitudes in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and North Africa. North America contains the largest number of oak species, with approximately 90 occurring in the United States, while Mexico has 160 species of which 109 are endemic.
Beech (Fagus) is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia, and North America.
Recent classification systems of the genus recognize 10 to 13 species in two distinct subgenera, Engleriana and Fagus. The Engleriana subgenus is found only in East Asia, and is notably distinct from the Fagus subgenus in that these beeches are low-branching trees, often made up of several major trunks with yellowish bark.
