 tri-colored beech on the Gardens list.  Never dawned on me to
 ask here.  Do they stay as spectacular as they appear when
 young?  Could you tell me more?

 I'm very familiar with weeping copper beech - one of my fantasy
 trees when I have sufficient space.  Does the tri-color get as
 large?

Yes! They are absolutely stunning. One caveat=Be sure to buy from a reputable
grower, as they are something like a sport. In other words, get a field grown
plant. They sell for around $150 for a 5=footer. I'll take a pic of one here
in Indy that is now about 20 feet tall. People think it is a state of
continual flowering!! I'll scan the pic and send you the image.

Van Wade sells it.
