NO comparison.

      A somewhat Chicken & Eggy situation here and again no Alice's memory to fall back on.  I know our/my little one bought in a Pot and not planted out in time for Alice to see it in situ; or approve its location.
     However, I have a VERY vague recollection of us seeing a Betula Youngii "somewhen"; out & about/TV, can't remember but she/we liked its habit, which looked reminiscent of that big un, and gave us a bit of a yearning; possible to replace the HUGE B. jackmontii marmalised years ago. 13 in fact, I just checked. HELL!!! Is it really that long   (:¬o)
