The dwarf beeches of Faux de Verzy, Montagne de Reims Region National Park

In the Marne region in France, nearby Reims, is a magical forest containing the world’s largest concentration of dwarf beech trees. Igloo-like when they’re small and growing no taller than 4 or 5 metres, they’re easily recognised by their ‘leaf umbrellas’ and their crooked and twisted trunks and branches which are often perpendicular to the ground.
