A wonderful and easy going tree for smaller spaces, this columnar (to 30') form of South American Beech from Seattle's Washington Park Arboretum makes a nice accent or specimen. Small crinkled dark-green leaves become a rich orange-yellow in autumn. Bark is a lovely chocolate brown with pretty silvery accents; from the (sadly) disappearing temperate rainforests. S-PSh/M
