These branches are dead, cut them off.
A beech is a tree of the genus Fagus with a smooth, light-grey trunk, oval pointed leaves and many branches, or the wood of this tree.
Beech tree leaves are typically oval with pointed tips and serrated edges. They have a smooth texture and are dark green in color. Look for leaves that are arranged alternately on the branch and have a prominent midrib. Additionally, beech trees often retain their leaves through the winter, so you may see dried, brown leaves still attached to the tree.
During Winter, after they have lost their leaves during Autumn.
Having shade leaves is advantageous to a beech tree because these leaves allow the tree to maximize photosynthesis in low-light conditions beneath the canopy. Shade leaves are typically larger and thinner, which helps capture more light while using less energy for maintenance. This adaptation enables the beech tree to thrive in forested environments, where competition for sunlight is high. Additionally, shade leaves can help reduce water loss, making the tree more resilient during periods of drought.
No, a tree's branches do not deliver nutrients from the soil to the leaves. Instead, nutrients are absorbed by the tree's roots from the soil and transported through the xylem tissue in the trunk and branches to the leaves. The leaves then use these nutrients, along with water and sunlight, to perform photosynthesis and produce energy for the tree.

Beech nut or beech mast.
Sloths climb upside down on tree branches and eat leaves. They climb out on the branches to the leaves.
yes except white pin ,red pine and seder tree.
The trunk of a tree supports the leaves and branches. It is the main upright part that provides structural support and transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the tree.
Keeping the leaves off the ground.
