Beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Probably a boundary group made up of a number of trees

Decidedly muscular as Beech often are.

Inosculation or natural grafting. Multiple trees planted very close together can grow into a single, large thick trunked tree.

As they grow together the bark scrapes away and the cambium layers fuse together.

Known as bundle planting

also sometimes called

Planting a 'gemel' (Pair)

17th Century landscape design practice recommend by John Evelyn

A bit confusing this as the leaf above shows no teeth.

But as Julia pointed out (Thank you)

  • Lf bases are very narrowly decurrent (had to look long and hard on this)

  • No teeth on the fresh new leaves of the specimen (but found toothed leaves amongst older parts). Smith says: 'margins sometimes entire in plants in dry habitats.', although teeth maybe 'obsolete' in P. rostratum.

  • Laminal cells porose (not or hardly so in P.rostratum).
