The Faux de Verzy are twisted beeches, a variety of beeches with twisted twigs and branches and singular shapes, the origin of which is still obscure to botanists. These spectacular trees with very slow growth and exceptional longevity, greatly contribute to the uniqueness of the Regional Natural Park of the Montagne de Reims. With more than 1000 scythes, the Forest of Verzy is the main world reserve of these unique trees.
