Every part of the shoreline that we=E2=80=99ve seen, in HRM both south =
and east of the city, since Arthur, has shown the brown leaf damage.

Subject: [NatureNS] Hurricane Arthur's Impact on Tree Foliage

We had a bit of discussion on this earlier. I spent Saturday & Sunday in =
Yarmouth & Shelburne Co's, primarily out along the coast. The marginal =
damage as leaf browning was easily seen at many locations and on many =
yard trees near the coast. I decided to photograph what were, for me, =
about the extremes seen. It does appear that maples, horse chestnut and =
Japanese knotweed (lol) were particularly susceptible but out along the =
coast you could see some "burning" on almost everything.=20

I've uploaded a photo of maple trees on the main road in Clark's =
Harbour, CSI. At that particular point, there was nothing behind the =
house but low grass down to the ocean, facing W of course. I had already =
concluded that maples were showing about the worst impact. Note browning =
on the background vegetation between the two houses too.

The spruce tree is at Hemeon Head, on the W side of the Head going down =
to Black Point Beach, very exposed but not right on the ocean. If you =
look closely you'll see similar browning on most of the spruce in the =
background. The damage is remarkably one-sided.
