WINTER BUDS 2: BEECH & HORNBEAM

Beech and Hornbeam trees both have rather fine twigs


Beech buds are long, slim and pointed.  And all except the terminal bud project away from the twig at an angle.


Hornbeam leaf buds lie along the twigs.  And the textured patterning on the bunches of hornbeam catkin buds are quite distinctive at this time of year.
