Re: Fagus sylvatica 'Mercedes' (dwarf fernleaf beech)

I don't know the size.  It's a new cultivar and I'm not
sure anyone knows yet.  Often, selections labeled
as dwarf are categorized as such because of their slow
growth.  There are numerous examples on old New
England estates of "dwarf" plants that are 30' high and
wide (after 80 years), but were pretty small for the first
40 years. I expect this plant to get to 8-10' after 15 years,
but that's just a guess.

Coenosium is in the Pacific NW.  They carry an huge selection
of interesting cultivars, mostly conifers, but you have to be willing
to deal with fresh grafts.  I don't have the address
here.  Let me know if you can't find it.
