DAWYCK PURPLE BEECH GROWTH CHART

The beech arrived.

I ordered the tree from Forest Farm in Oregon. She shipped on April 27, and arrived nine days later, her leaves looking perfect, her soil still moist. I haven't
even planted the tree yet, so be sure to check back in a few years for a "real" growth chart!

Gregory is very excited and a little bit nervous about his first tree planting project.

We moved the beech into her new pot today. This picture was taken from the top, bird's eye view. One day this picture will
be impossible, unless I happened to be dangling from a helicopter.

A couple of weeks in morning sunshine, and she's turning purple and growing again!
