Nova Scotians,
Yesterday, in Bridgetown, I noticed that the Ashes looked strange, and
they prove to be Fraxinus excelsior, the European Ash. "Trees in Canada"
says this species is "frequently planted for landscape purposes," but
doesn't mention escapes from cultivation or volunteer reproduction.
Is this species frequently seen as naturalized in Nova Scotia? Is it
regarded as an invasive species here?
There was also a huge Bittersweet vine in Bridgetown which seems to be
Celastrus orbiculatus, the invasive species that swathes so much of
Connecticut and southern New York state.
