Where is Beech Tree found?

Beech trees are native to subtropical and temperate climates in the Northern Hemisphere and are found primarily in North America and Europe.

Beech pollen allergies are strongly linked to Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome, which is a cross-reaction to allergens found in both pollen and raw fruits, vegetables, or some tree nuts.
