Location is south-facing slope beneath a mostly oak-hickory canopy, with sourwood mid-canopy and lots of shrub-size sassafras, some azalea and vaccinium low red maple, and one silky dogwood. A lack of evergreen and deciduous ferns also indicates dryness. (3,400 feet elevation)
 
LEFT (May 18, 2012): The main stem is definitely dying; there was no new growth on this stem this year or last.
RIGHT (May 18, 2012): The only new growth, and it is meager, are on 3 small coppice sprouts at base. On a scale in which "Celia" specimen is rated by Lee Barnes as a 10, this specimen is probably a 2 or 3.
 
LEFT (May 18, 2012): Notice how bare of herbs the surrounding forest floor is. Our experience is that, absent human assistance in getting water during dry spells, this degree of bare forest floor is a very bad indicator for Torreya success.
RIGHT (May 18, 2012):
