Taiwanese Beech- Fagus hayatae

[Jzack605]

Anyone grow a Taiwanese Beech or know some examples? Seems like an excellent candidate in the Beech genus.

I didnt know there was such a beech, im only familiar with European, Japanese and American. do you have access to them?
the colours on that are not much different to the ones i mentioned.

No access and first I’ve heard as well. The leaves look smaller in the one image.

Well, Bobby, time for a trip to Kew with your scissors, Hmmmm?

think you'll find the ones i mentioned easier to source
plus there is nothing special about the one in the picture, they all produce nice colours and reduce in leaf size, maybe apart from the American one.

Oh yeah I know those are easier to source. There’s something about having a lesser grown species though.

Reviving this post for this video clip - was curious myself! The video should start where he shows his taiwan beech. He also has some smaller ones he shows earlier.
