[Magdalen] Monterey fire?

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, we have plenty of American beech.

There are crab apples which have reddish foliage, but of course they are 
smaller trees.

Since we have woods all around us, we don't really need ornamental trees. 
One thing we do have in abundance is large balsam firs - think several dozen 
White House Christmas trees surrounding your house.

This is too bad, though OTOH, New England is a bit harsh for the
Crimson and the Harlequin cultivars.  I know they do not do well  in
Northern Wisconsin.

Guess Vermonters will need to plant Copper [European] Beech to get
the summer color, though once again the climate may be borderline.
These trees are a good deal more expensive, too.
