Its growth here is quite slow to medium in certain cases. The species has a good longevity estimated at more than 400 years. The tree has an average tolerance to shade at a young age. It likes cool and moist but well-drained soil. It has excellent resistance to urban pollution.
The type of rooting is rather superficial in beech trees.
