beech leaf
Forest tree foliage
A beech leaf is the foliage of a beech tree—oval or elliptical with pointed tips and wavy edges, turning golden or copper in autumn.
Beech leaves are distinctive for often remaining on the tree through winter, dried but clinging to branches until spring growth pushes them off.
