I am a Beech Nut! I am planning on profiling it in winter. I want to utilize some photos of juvenile specimens in the native habitat as they retain their dried leaves. It is very much a part of the winter fabric of the Southern Appalachians. I think it is just as striking as an understory filler as it is as a full grown specimen. More to come on that...
