Introduced in the 17th century, (i.e a naturalised rather than a native species) the Norway Maple is known for its hardy timber. Its leaves are a favourite with caterpillars and its seeds are eaten by birds and small mammals. It is a deciduous broadleaf tree and can grow to 25m. Its large leaves provide stunning autumn colours .
It is often found in the UK as a street tree and is widely planted as an ornamental tree in parks/ gardens due to its tall trunk and tolerance of compacted soils, shade and pollution.
Mature trees grow to a height of more than 40m and develop a huge domed crown.
Where to find it- In the UK, common beech is only considered truly native to south-east England and south-east Wales. It grows in woods or as single trees, usually on drier, free-draining soils, such as chalk, limestone and light loams.
Beech woodland is shady and characterised by a dense carpet of fallen leaves and mast husks which prevent most woodland plants from growing. Only specialist shade-tolerant plants can survive beneath a beech canopy.

Value to wildlife- Due to its dense canopy, rarer plant species are associated with beech woodland, such as box, coralroot bittercress and a variety of orchids, including red helleborine. Beech woodland provides an important habitat for many butterflies, particularly in open glades and along woodland rides.
