Thank you, Nancy, for the interesting reference. The Silver Maple (Acer =
saccharinum) seems to be one  Southern tree species that has recently =
made the jump into our province. It's found naturally in seasonally =
flooded river valleys of parts of  N.B and Maine, which are the =
northernmost and easternmost tip of its distribution.

A few years ago I reported (on NatureNS) a healthy and growing =
population of this species along Kings County's Cornwallis River. The =
oldest trees here are roughly all of the same age, suggesting that a =
local landowner had planted them along the river some decades ago to try =
to stabilize its eroding banks...
