More Trees
New tree species I have learned:
Catalpa (introduced as a garden tree)
Sycamore
Quaking Aspen
Bigtooth Aspen
Red Birch
The last was something I had assumed was a mutant Yellow Birch, so it was good to figure that out. The few around here are far from their natural range, which is the American Southeast. What Tua's family call "Poplars" are actually at least three species: White Poplar, Quaking Aspen, and Bigtooth Aspen. Especially the first and last. But there are lots of Quaking Aspen on Rte. 89 between exits 4 and 8.
There are some beautiful Sycamores on the road we take over the mountains toward Rutland. They're quite striking - it was good to figure out what they are.
Okay, off to my massage. :)
