I would like to know the pro's and con's of planting a a Tri-Colored
Beech as an ornament tree in my well-established front yard. (Zone 7,
central VA))

Hurricane Isabel wasn't very nice to my Eastern American Bed Bud last
Fall and she had to go (with great mourning)

I've been thinking of replacing her with a Tri-colored Beech... because
it matches the color scheme of our house perfectly!

The placement will be;
(close to) NE side of the house
Part-sun/shade in Fall and Spring
Full sun in summer.


Tri-colored European Beech = Fagus Sylvatica-TriColor

Thanks in advance!
