Fagus × taurica, the Crimean beech, is a deciduous tree in the beech genus Fagus.

Taxonomy

The Balkan beech or Moesian beech (Fagus moesiaca), is considered to be the same species. It has been thought to be a hybrid between F. orientalis and F. sylvatica, but the relationships between Eurasian beeches are still unclear, and it may show greater affinity with F. orientalis.
