Beeches
Beeches (S. neldor) were broad and tall trees that grew throughout Middle-earth, and especially in its northern regions. The most famous beech-forest of all was Neldoreth in Doriath. Hírilorn, the three-trunked tree in which Lúthien was imprisoned, was perhaps the greatest beech that had ever grown. Beeches also grew in the Trollshaws, where trolls used them as firewood and in the valley of Rivendell, as well as in Mirkwood, where they were the favorite trees of the Wood-elves. In the attack on Isengard by the Ents, the Ent which caught fire and burned to death was called Beechbone.

A type of beech tree, Chap-beech (S. Hlosneldor, Q. Lussaferen), was described in the book as a deciduous pale-white tree. Its thin leaves sounded like hissing in the wind. These trees grew along the path to Dol Guldur. Chap-beechnuts had a stinging husk, but the Beornings and Radagast knew that they taste good once the husk was removed.
