"Do these roots make my buttress look big?"

At Big Thicket, we think all buttresses are beautiful, especially the American beech. Its roots start above the ground and make it look like the tree is grasping the earth.

The thicket is at the southwestern edge of the American beech's range, which stretches from Nova Scotia, Canada, to southeast Texas. Our beeches are often covered with striking patterns of green lichen and grow on gentle slopes above waterways.

Admire our beautiful buttresses on a hike at the Kirby Nature Trail!

Ever wonder why evergreen trees look like they do? They have a variety of adaptations that allow them to weather the storms of winter. Most have flexible branches that prevent them from snapping when snow and ice builds up. Some, like those decorated for Christmas, have a conical shape that allows them to easily shed snow that would accumulate more on upright, broader branches. Their narrow needles also prevent snow build up (imagine how much snow a maple leaf might collect) and the waxy coating on needles reduces water loss from the bitter winter winds.

Most importantly, evergreens have internal adaptations that allow them to survive the freezing conditions that would otherwise prevent them from transporting water to keep their needles alive.
