Appearance: Blue beech may also be known as musclewood for its muscle-like ridges on the smooth-gray trunks, and if often confused as a small beech tree. Leaves are bluish-green, with fine teeth, and becoming successively larger along the shoots. The small nuts are surrounded by a leaf-like bract, becoming brown in late fall, and hanging in clusters.
Site and soils: Can tolerate full shade, and full sun with ample moisture. Prefers rich, well-drained soils.
Potted stock is sold by pot size and not directly related to the plant size. We try to ensure the proper pot size is used to allow proper plant root and top development can occur for future planting success.
We do on occasion purchase seed from other areas for purpose grown trees such as Balsam and Fraser Fir for Christmas trees where no local seed sources are available.
Our plants are suitable and hardy for planting in areas throughout Eastern and Central Ontario from Toronto or North Bay eastward as well as southwestern Quebec. Our plants are hardy for other locations but optimal growth may not be met, for advice on moving stock to other locations please contact the nursery office.
