Very natural looking tree. I would like to see the lowest part of the trunk a bit thicker, more massive, but knowing you you are probably working on that already.

Hi Luc! A beech is thickening very slowly.. in future I want the power branches much longer and more up. The top will be more flattened. This, as an old beech often has that shape..then, the lower part of the trunk will thicken a bit..

I like this beech. I am however not convinced that beech is slow thickening..

OK, that must be the difference. I get 2 or 3 flushes, this year even 4 on mine.

hmm, big difference, do you have any idea about the difference? Maybe the repot last year? The year before that it had 3 flushes. But years before that always 1..
