<a href="../201805/48 Thank you all for the ID help. I was not near enough the bush to get a good look and was not going to cross the ditch to do so. Hobblebush must have a long flowering season as I am sure I have noted it in flower in July as well. A fast grower.

Next time you come across one, take a good look at it. I find it's the easiest shrub to reliably ID at all times of the year because of it's flat spreading tier-like branching pattern (there's probably other shrubs that branch similar but none I can think of) and at least wherever I've seen, it's always infected with a orange rust fungus (golden canker of alternate leaved dogwood) on at least one branch, I can only ever remember seeing one without it, though that's just my impression from Kings/Annapolis Co, where I do most of my tromping. > > Ian > > On 27 May 2018 at 18:29, David <dwebster@glinx.com> wrote: > Hi All, > Thanks Ian, for the confirmation. Some species names get swapped at intervals. Fernald (1950) has V. lantanoides Michx. as a synonym of V. alnifolium. The constant, as you say, is hobblebush. The fruit is a good nibble but seldom seen at the right time. It fruits reliably in a garden setting. > Yt, DW, Kentville > > ------ Original Message ------ > From: "Ian Manning" <ianmanning4@gmail.com> > To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > Sent: 5/27/2018 3:03:18 PM > Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Flowering Dogwood > >> Yep.
