A eukaryote is a cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. The cells of all multicellular organisms (plants, animals, and fungi) are eukaryotic. Algae and protists also are eukaryotic organisms.
(Redirected from Weeping Beech) The weeping beech, Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula', is a cultivar of the deciduous European beech. The weeping beech is characterized by its shape with sweeping, pendulous branches. The stem of the tree may not be visible from a distance due to the presence of the covering weeping branches.
American beech (Fagus grandifolia) is the only species of this genus in North America. Although beech is now confined to the eastern United States (except for the Mexican population) it once extended as far west as California and probably flourished over most of North America before the glacial period (39).eech root systems are more shallow than the associated yellow birch and sugar maple. Few tree species are less tolerant of flooding during the growing season than American beech. Root exudates of beech contain more organic acids than those of sugar maple or yellow birch.
