Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Nothofagus pumilio, also known as lenga beech, is a deciduous tree or shrub native to the southern Andes range in Chile and Argentina. It is part of the Nothofagaceae family and is closely related to the coihue tree. The lenga beech is known for its ability to easily regenerate after fires and its wood is used in furniture, shingles, and construction. It can grow up to 30 meters in height and is found in areas with low temperatures and abundant snow. It is commonly found in national parks such as Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego. The leaves of the lenga beech turn yellow and reddish in autumn, and its fruit is a small nut. This tree is able to tolerate extremely low temperatures and frosts all year round. Various sources, including the Chileflora and Enciclopedia de la Flora Chilena, provide information on the lenga beech and its characteristics.
