May 29, 2007 - Just below our home along Wolfville¹s Wickwire Ave., female catkins of a small LOMBARDY POPLAR are just beginning to shed their ³cottony² seeds, and the catkins are showing lots of yellowish infection with a FUNGUS (photos taken). Adjacent to the Lombardy poplar, some large BALSAM POPLARS will not shed their cottony seeds for weeks yet? I also looked at some large poplars along Westwood Ave. in the west edge of the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens. Their leaf shape indicates they are introduced CAROLINA POPLARS, and their lack of hanging catkins now probably means they are males and dropped their catkins earlier in Spring. Also growing with them are two small LARGE-TOOTHED ASPEN POPLARS. HORSE CHESTNUT in bloom in Wolfville, and CHOKE CHERRY just beginning to bloom. May 30, 2007 - PHOTO of WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST on a smallish white pine trunk perhaps 15 cm. in diameter, a healthy-looking tree, along one of the Acadia Woodland Trails in Wolfville, just north of Skyview Drive. In bloom along the trail were YELLOW ROCKET, CUCKOO-FLOWER, FORGET-ME-NOT species, WILD PLUM tree?, BARBERRY, etc. Cheers :-) from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204
