Re: beech question

Kathy and Dan -- thanks for your help.

The designer has been dismissed from this job and I've been hired to 
finish it out. It is beech that was spec'd, these supposedly are 
smaller and can be made into a hedge. It just seems too risky to me 
since beech need good drainage.

You found what I did, Dan...most of the on-line references seemed to 
be from Great Britain.
