There is something I’ve been noticing in the Forest and I wonder how common it is. Perhaps if you visit the Forest you can keep a lookout for other examples and let me know. I’m wondering if there are a higher number than would occur by chance.
Oak with younger Beech growing immediately next to it. Have a look at the photos.
Across north and north-eastern Europe the Oak is known as the king of the forest, and the Beech, the queen.
