Burr Homestead Beech

Kouta,

That's interesting, do you think the site is exaggerating? Just curious. Norways do seem very shade tolerant compared to American species, here in Pennsylvania it's not rare to see a Norway sapling 1-foot tall doing very well in complete shade.

Greenent,

Sounds like a neat tree, do you think you post a pic? :)

i'll see what I have, and scan one in if I find a good shot (the last time I was on campus I was still shooting film)
hmm i bet I can find some post online from others let me see and:

here is a very small photo of the base trunk:

The exotic earthworms could also be one factor helping the Norway maple invasion. Lee?
