Nothofagus

Myrtle Beech. This evergreen Tasmanian tree is infrequently seen in cultivation in North America. Our friend Steve Hootman's seed collection of this species will help put right any wrong in that arena. Small leaves adorn the branches - great for bonsai. Gets to be a large tree especially in warm temperate rain forest settings which in Tasmania can mean a 150' tree while up at tree-line, this same species is reduced to 3' tall.
