I don't know if </div> <div> there is any in NS yet. It resembles Sugar Maple to some extent. </div> <div> It is a 2 species cross which shows some characterists of hybrids. Its seed is only occasionally fertile </div> <div> so is much less invasive than Norway Maple. </div> <div> Crossing species of trees is an interesting study - however not a hobby thing like rhododendrons say </div> <div> because of the length of time to see the result! Much quicker to select seedlings. </div> <div> Enjoy the summer </div> <div> Paul </div> <div>   </div> <div> <br/>> On July 16, 2015 at 11:58 AM Dusan Soudek <soudekd@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: <br/>> <br/>> <br/>> Oops!
