Hi All, June 14, 2013
Best to look at the trees. Both Jack and Scotch have been planted, =
at least on a trial basis. Red Pine, in Eastern Kings at least, is =
largely limited to pure dense stands that develop naturally on =
excessively drained soils that are prone to fire.
About 1970 a friend gave me about (50 ?,90?) Scotch Pine that he had =
left over from a planting and I planted them in the more tree-free areas =
of a recently clearcut woodlot. Most survived the first growing season =
and over the next few years all one-by-one fell prey to teeth of various =
kinds.
Yt, Dave Webster

Hi Nancy; Those are RED PINE. Don't ever go looking for wildflowers =

There are no large stands of Jack Pines in this area as far as I =
know. White Pine sounds like the most likely source of the pollen. =
Thanks to everyone who provided info.=20
Out of curiosity, are Jack Pines the ones often planted when =
"reforesting" a cutover? There are a few of these solid, dense, =
stick-straight stands along some back roads in E Dalhousie as well as =

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.
