RE: Tour day is over - tri color beech

Sounds like you are talking about tri-color beech?  Do check it out before buying.  I lusted for one after seeing it on a garden TV show.  It gets large, if I recall, and is also susceptible to some insect...  just make sure it will work for you before you track one down.

- The beech tree sounds lovely.  So far any thing I have tried to 
grow with pink  variegation has withered to nothing or reverted to 
all green.
