Birch species are deciduous, summer-green trees or shrubs. They are among the very fast and tall-growing woody plants and can reach heights of up to 7 meters after just six years.

Spruce

The Norway spruce has a high water requirement, tolerates relatively much shade, and naturally occurs here mainly in mountainous regions.

Pine

The pine is a very robust tree species that places only low demands on nutrient supply and tolerates drought and heat just as well as icy cold.

European Beech

Because it tolerates a lot of shade, the European beech would naturally dominate most forests in Germany. Beech wood is hard and highly valued in furniture making.

Oak

There are two native oak species: the pedunculate oak and the sessile oak.

Oaks above all need light, which is why they, like many other light-demanding tree species, are eventually displaced by beech.

Linden

In Germany, two linden species are native: the small-leaved linden and the large-leaved linden. However, the two can cross naturally, so mixed forms of both species exist.

Today, both linden species occur in most regions of Germany.

Flame Tree

Originally from Madagascar, it grows to a height of 8-10 meters. It has a parasol-shaped crown made up of feathery green leaves. The flowers are magnificent and form very dense clusters in spring.
