Foreword
Introduction
The above photo features one of the largest,
unblemished Beech trees I have found. This Beech is an excellent example
of a large, healthy, and resistant tree. The majority of the Beech
are dead, dying or disfigured by an introduced bark canker disease.
In European mythology, the `Beech´ symbolizes ancient knowledge
or wisdom and the words `Beech´ and `book´ are derived
from the same origin [OE Boc]. The Beech is a perfect example of a
valuable tree that could be propagated from resistant individuals
and replanted to enhance its presence in our parks and forests
