To clarify, I was wondering if there was any point in trying to
re-establish Beech here once the existing ones are gone. When would it
be worth the effort, if ever?
It seems that the National Tree Seed Centre is not well-stocked with
American Beech seed, by the way.

them down here in God’s country, but they turned out to be a European
species!).
