Subject: [NatureNS] pollen from which tree
Which species of tree is dispersing the pollen seen now on lakes =
in the SW half of NS? Pine?
This photo shows an area of sheltered shoreline on L Torment, E =
Dalhousie, Kings Co where the wind has gathered the pollen into electric =
green windrows. It is more thinly dispersed throughout the lake but =
still easily visible from a boat as a green suspension just below the =
surface.
