The European Beech is Newport’s signature tree. Native to Europe, it was widely planted during the Gilded Age and thrives in Newport’s temperate seaside climate. Newport’s largest beeches rival the finest specimens in the world. The variety, ‘Asplenifolia,’ is a particularly elegant example of a European Beech, and many impressive specimens of this variety are found around the city.
