I came here looking for information on American Beech. I found this little tree on the edge of some power lines and thought it looked very interesting. As a beginner I'm a little intimidated by what everyone is saying in regards to keeping A.B. as a bonsai. Maybe I'll leave it alone and collect it in a few years after I have gained some experience. This tree is not growing anywhere near any other beech trees. There is a large grove further down the power lines, but they are about a half mile away.
I'd love some advice or opinions if anyone has any input. The first two pics are from the "front side" and the third picture is taken from the opposite side.
Thanks in advance for any information or advice. I have thoroughly read through his whole thread very carefully so no need to retype anything that's already been offered. for context, i am located in Southern Maine ( Zone 5B ).
