SUPERFOLK SAYS:

“Our most popular large print and the original in our Forest Canopy Print series. Inspired by the shelter, protection and seasonal colour offered by great old Beech trees in a west of Ireland rain shower. Beech trees are the first to gain their leaves in Spring and the last to loose them in Winter”

Learn More About The Beech Tree:

Watching the buds of the Beech tree unfurl into delicate fresh green leaves is one of the most powerful signals of the renewal of Spring. Later in the year autumnal frosts,  turn the leaves a magnificent rusty-red colour before turning a leather brown. The leaves of the Beech tree often linger right through winter until they are forced off the tree by Spring growth. The Beech tree grows very tall and has a smooth, grey-blue bark. The Beech tree sends out purple flowers when it over 40 years old. Large old Beech trees are suited to climbing and building huts.
