This collection is composed primarily of American beeches (Fagus grandiflora) and European beeches (Fagus sylvatica) that perform well in our area. Varietes of beeches included are fastigiate or ‘columnar’ form European Beech, Fern-Leaf European Beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Asplenifolia’), cut-leaf European Beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Laciniata’), weeping beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Pendula’), round-leaved European Beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Rotundifolia’) and a twisted truck form of European Beech, Fagus sylvatica ‘Tortuosa’.
The Cascadilla Gorge Trail between College Avenue and Linn Street is now open for the season. For your safety, please remain on official trails and do not enter closed trails or restricted areas around the gorges.
