Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Fagus grandifolia. Tree planted for Ann Anderson in memory of her parents Louis B. Anderson and Mary S. Anderson by Ann's friends at EDAW. This tree was long mislabeled as 64260-J, but was recovered in part based on the old IPM map of the Columns Overlook area. [ID note: this tree is rather unusual for F. grandifolia; its ID may warrant further investigation. Its foliage is much deeper green (especially in spring) than typical F. grandifolia and somewhat distorted with an undulating appearance, and its internodes are quite short, causing the growht to have a dense, tufted/clumpy look; its overall habit is bushy and many-branched from the base, with no central leader or primary trunks. -SBL]
