i'm very new here (and quite an amateur gardener when compared to many here!). Just had to add my name to your list of old-tree-appreciators! i started another thread about these, but I know you folks would appreciate these old guys. we've been told they are at least 100 yrs old. and they have plenty of personality! landscape architect frederick law olmstead did a lot of work in this area, and this spot was supposedly a picnic area for a long-gone nearby estate, so we wonder if they were planted by him - we've been told they are 4 different kinds of european beech. we feel very lucky to be living now, and getting to enjoy these trees in their old age. they are really amazing.
