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.

I wonder if the National Tree Seed Centre in Fredericton (https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/science-data/research-centres-labs/forestry-research-centres/atlantic-forestry-centre/national-tree-seed-centre/13449) could help.  A couple of years ago, I was in touch re. Hemlocks (threatened by the adelgid) and black ash (Thought I’d hit a lot of them down here in God’s country, but they turned out to be a European species!). 

 

Donnie McPhee (donnie.mcphee@canada.ca) is the go-to guy and can probably identify go-to people in N.S.
