On a related note:
Does anyone know if mature=2C possibly old growth Beeches are susceptible t=
o the insect/fungal disease that damages and causes the typical "knobbly" b=
ark of NS Beeches. I have a small lot riddled with Beeches of various ages =
and most are affected. There are however a few=2C quite large specimens wit=
h atypically smooth bark and healthy appearance.
Could it be they were of sufficient age before infestation to be resistant?=
how would one determine if this is the cae as opposed to the recently rep=
orted genetic variants which are unaffected?

Good luck with the Beeches. Here in Waverley they are being wiped=0A=
out by an introduced beetle=2C the beech=0A=
leaf-mining weevil (Orchestes fagi). Many of our trees have=0A=
been defoliated year after year and are now dead.
