Re: [SG] Cercis `Forest Pansy'-Beech(Fagus sylvatica forma


Hi Gary.  I know they are slow growers.  There is a weeping
copper beech at an Olmstead garden/park in Westerly, RI.  That's
where I really fell in love with them.  Then I found out when it
was planted.  :)  Bu-u-ut, doesn't mean they can't be enjoyed as
youngsters.

Gary?  rare conifers as in chamaecyparis?  I know I obsess about
these a bit, but I think they are one of the most wonderful &
versatile trees around and with the exception of a couple like
'hinoke', they are criminally underutilized.   Therefore, they
are difficult to find.  The some do quite well in part-shade and
many of the dwarf or low-growing varieties are phenomenal near
water.

Thanks so much for the info.
Jaime
