Faux de Verzy, Dwarf beech forest in Verzy, France
The Faux de Verzy contains approximately one thousand dwarf beech trees that grow only 4 to 5 meters tall with twisted trunks and branches.
Medieval texts from the 6th century first documented these unusual trees near the Abbey of Saint-Basle, where monks potentially helped propagate the species.
Local folklore connects these trees to Joan of Arc, who reportedly rested beneath one of the dwarf beeches during her travels through the region.
The forest features marked footpaths and protective barriers that allow visitors to observe the trees while safeguarding their delicate root systems.
Scientific studies reveal these trees can live up to 350 years and possess the ability to fuse branches and generate new growth from aerial limbs.
