I just saw a beech hedge at a hospital I was visiting . Does any one have any experience growing this type of hedge and know of any place where I could buy beech whips? Iwould like to plant one about 75 feet long.
TIA

| Have you tried Musser Forests? www.musserforests.com Hornbeam is also nice, though the brown leaves are perhaps not as persistent. Also Linden (Tilia) often used for this. There is a Beech hedge at the Southampton hospital -- perhaps that is the one you meant? |

| I liked the comment about 75 ft beech whips! Ha Ha !! Anyway miSago , I have a hard time restraining things I grow even pruning them as often as I should. I understand the Bonsai idea but just wouldn't bother to take the time to distort a natural growing thing! I think for me it rings of binding little girl's feet. You know those ancient traditions. It served a purpose the but not now. I can't even accept it as an art form. If you want a tiny tree then carve one. |
