Beeches
From Tolkien Gateway
Beeches 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.[1] Hírilorn, the three-trunked tree in which Lúthien was imprisoned, was perhaps the greatest beech that had ever grown.[2] In the attack on Isengard by the Ents, the Ent which caught fire and burned to death was called Beechbone.[3]
