I find the species, Fagus sylvatica to be a very interesting one. There is a nice range of variations in the different cultivars, both in the foliage and the growth habits. Dick van Hoey Smith developed a number of new cultivars in his Trompenburg Arboretum. He had a variety of old specimens and they hybridized with each other to produce new cultivars. The genetics of this species is very easy to work with and the new cultivars show their exact parentage. I had forty selections growing on my Eatonville property.

There is no good source for information on this species so I decided to write this book. Pictures and descriptions are found on every page. I included the Quercus robur cultivars for the same reason.

Here are two pages from this book.
