On a joint Halifax Field Naturalists/Nova Scotia Wildflower Society walk at=
Prospect Head yesterday (July 12, 2014), we noted extensive browning of ve=
getation which was attributed to salt burn associated with sea spray from T=
ropical Storm Arthur 8 days before, preceded and followed by hot, dry weath=
er.
At one point, a few of us paused and wondered about a strong smell of caram=
elized sugar that seemed to come from a white spruce. (It reminded me of th=
e smell from sugar cane mills in the West Indies in days gone by.) A brief =
investigation revealed the source as the browned needles on branch tips. A =
