A Fau de Verzy is either a Dwarf Beech , a dwarf oak tree, or a dwarf chestnut tree. These grow in the forest of Verzy, 25 km south of Reims in France.
In this forest are less than a thousand dwarf beeches, some dozen dwarf oaks and some dwarf chestnuts , but this article speaks in the main about dwarf beeches.
The word fau designated the beech in Old French ; this word came from the Latin fagus, now the French word for beech is hêtre that has a Germanic origin.
These trees therefore give the name, Les Faux de Verzy, to the touristic area located in France 25 km south of Reims in Marne where the world’s largest concentration of dwarf beeches stands with about a thousand trees.
