I would love to tour sometime alongside my mom! We are also part of a local Wild + Free group who would be interested in a nature class! We are about 30 minutes south of you

This sounds so lovely, super jealous. I have been to your area of the country for work but alas I am in ATL, so a quick stop by is a challenge (as is keeping plants moist in our summer suns).

Yes! they were hard to find here but I did after a few years of looking. They are fastigiata so they are just box pruned, not pleached.

That is so lovely :) How nice to have a free supply! Our equivalent must be American beech in our North American woods. But honeysuckle and privet are attempting to push them out.

Love to have you! We are north of Pittsburgh so it is over the mountain range to get here but worth the drive :)
