I have heard anecdotal tales of fungus-resistant beech in the
Strathgartney-Bonshaw area of PEI.

On a related note:
Does anyone know if mature, possibly old growth Beeches are susceptible to
the insect/fungal disease that damages and causes the typical "knobbly" bark
of NS Beeches. I have a small lot riddled with Beeches of various ages and
most are affected. There are however a few, quite large specimens with
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
reported genetic variants which are unaffected?

Good luck with the Beeches. Here in Waverley they are being wiped out by an
introduced beetle, the beech leaf-mining weevil (Orchestes fagi)
<https://www.invasiveinsects.ca/blmw/blmw.html> . Many of our trees have
been defoliated year after year and are now dead.

We have a lot of beech here on the North Mountain, and every fall there are
hordes of beech nuts on the ground. Two springs ago (2014) we had hundreds
of beech seedlings, many in the driveway, something I'd not seen in the
previous eight years we'd lived here. I surmised that it takes exactly the
right conditions to trigger germination and that it doesn't happen every
year.
Cheers,
Doug

Hi All
This afternoon I went for a drive with the intention of
going for a walk near some of my favorite fishing spots.
The cold rain changed my plan but I drove a couple of roads
that I hadn't driven before. Somewhere between Mahone Bay and New Gerrnany.
On one road I passed a wood lot. A big lot, maybe 100 ha as a guess, It
had been harvested 15 - 20 years ago - again a guess - and was growing up
in small hardwood. Mostly birch and popular about 3 - 4 m in height. but all
over
the lot were small beech trees - about 1 m in height. Easy to pick out as
last years leaves were
still attached.
It was too cold and wet to investigate further but certainly an interesting
lot.
Most be some special conditions to promote the beech regrowth.
Enjoy the cold of the early spring.
Paul
