Probably should have let no visible buds instead of leaving a viable bud on one side only.
Looking at the picture, I am worried too. The slight brown-reddish tone of the bark on the right hand of the trunk would for me be a sign of dead/dying bark. Do a carefull check before taking any hasty action. This can be sunburn, and may take a year to really show as dead (cracking bark). Be carefull with sun: Beech are easily damaged by sun, so always keep the same side of the trunk exposed to the sun.I think half the trunk died. Still no buds..
Be cautious with how much wind you expose Beech to as well, they are not happy in wind.I placed it in full summer to get backbudding... first mistake. Did not get the intended effect and got a burnt tree.
I will remove the endbuds in winter. Thanks for the tip, leatherback.

Yes especially in the spring on new leaves, you can burn them up in just one hour of wind.Hahha me too. I have 3. (This one a red forest and a smaller one that I airlayered.

Maybe in the spring. Looks like it’s in dirt now...? Mine do well in akadama.
