The repotted beech is doing very well. It doesn’t seem to have even noticed being repotted. There is one very peculiar thing though - the beechs that were left outdoors in their pots to grow on have lovely red foliage - but the one that was repotted and kept under glass to recover has reverted to green leaves.
Here is the trunk now with leaves on it. Sorry about the poor lighting - London is under leaden skies.
Interestingly the beech seems to be budding out on trunk again below the main cut - so with a little carving and patience it wont look like an ugly trunk chop job.

Darling, if you don't get rid of the captcha and the rogue apostrophe in beech's, I won't let you have any beer & sausage bread.
Interesting! I have also noticed that red-leaf trees sometimes have green leaves on the tips of branches. Maybe they have to be exposed to the radiation of the sun to get the red colour?
This one is gradually turning red now. I think it was the transplant stress that maybe changed it a little.
