I previously wrote for June 7, 2007:

June 7, 2007 - MOUNTAIN ASH in bloom in Wolfville -- same for ³SORBARIA²?, a
hybrid between mountain ash and a viburnum species? (check this with Sam Van
der Kloet).  There¹s a ³Sorbaria² tree at the northeast corner of the
Wolfville post office, and there used to be another one just west of the
Acadia Biology Building (now gone from construction zone for new Biology
Bldg.).

I had been going on memory from years ago in conversation with Sam Vander
Kloet of Acadia Biology.  My memory was a bit screwed up, since Sam told me
recently that the tree mentioned above is a hybrid between mountain ash
(Sorbus sp.) and a species of Aronia (same genus as our chokeberry species).
The tree I meant above is on Skyway Drive at its west end between Chestnut
and Kent Avenues.  Sam guessed that the hybrid tree at our post office is
perhaps a hybrid of mountain ash? with apple?

Cheers from Jim
