We have a few here, just south of Yarmouth. Not sure if they are balsam
poplar or Balm of Gilead. We heard the latter, years ago, but the buds are
gummy with an interesting smell.

Subject: [NatureNS] Balsam Poplar
All,
In a drive down my road, westerly - the direction I don't travel as
frequently, I came across a whole pile of fruit clusters on the side of the
road. These were the fuzzy "seeds" of a Balsam Poplar. I stopped, took a
leafy twig for our herbarium at StFX and had a good look at one of the very
few poplars I've ever come across in NS. Perhaps they're more common in
other parts of the province, but to me, it was a good sighting.
Randy
