Default [IBC] collected beech

Oh, and if you have "upperstory" beech as well, be

just above the connection
to the "mother" root...

I have had success by cutting the contact with the
mother tree, waiting a year, making another cut on the
opposite side of the sprout and digging the third
year. Of course the stuff was in my back yard.
