    Has anyone here tried to grow beech trees from seed, if so with any success?

    I've had them come up self sown, potted up or transplanted into a better position. They are slow growing.

    How many thousand would you like?
    They are as prolific as sycamore.
    They are supposed to be slow growing, but the ones here, very quickly get up to a couple of feet high if I do not see them.
    Transplanting them would slow them down though.
