Hi Jim & All, Apr 25, 2013
Those catkins were likely on Trembling Aspen (P. tremuloides) as =
opposed to the later Large Toothed Aspen (P. grandidentata).=20
At North Alton today male P. tremuloides catkins were fully extended =
but, on a tree conveniently partly broken off in 2011 but still live, =
not yet shedding pollen. I could see not sign of catkins, >100' up, on =
P. grandidentata.
Male and female flowers of all (?) Populus are borne on different =
plants. The same is almost always (?) true of willow (Salix).
Yt, DW

Subject: [ValleyNature] blowin' in the wind (aspen) & coltsfoot =
"sunflowers"
APRIL 22, 2013 - "How many roads must a man walk down?..." Now =
aspen poplar catkins are open and blowin' in the wind, ala Bob Dylan. =
They probably opened yesterday or even earlier?
Also oodles of flower-heads of coltsfoot all facing the noon Sun =
like tiny sunflowers, along Skyway Drive.
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
