Hi Burkhard & All,

     I can't furnish a clear answer beyond observing that some very 
large Beech in Kentville got me curious because they had no hint of  
canker. So I asked a neighbor with previous connections in the nursery 
business and borrowed a book--- Taylors guide to trees.

     They list F. grandifolia, F. sylvatica (European Beech with many 
horticultural forms ) F. sylvatica pendula {weeping} and sylvatica 
Riversii\ deep purple foliage. All Latin to me.
