Butternut

[SwampDonkey]

That's the thing about butternut, as far as I understand it, it doesn't grow in huge numbers anyplace, but common enough to not call rare. I can drive along the river and see trees here and there, never a bunch with more than 20 trees.

Kinda like bur oak here. How come we have both in NB, but none in NS or PEI?

SwampDonkey: I remember a nice stand of it next to the bridge at Grand Falls back in 86.....Cheyenne

I've never seen any further north than Medford, about 15 miles south of there along a small stream. There is some in St Jaques, transplanted in the Botanical garden. I've never seen any along the bridges up at Grand Falls though, have to look sharper I guess. Mostly what you get up that way is balm-of-gilead. Old ones kind of branch off like butternut when the tops die back some. Which bridge? TCH? If so, they are probably gone since the 4-lane added a new bridge.

The foot bridge at the water falls. But that was in 86. I'm sure a lot has changed...........Cheyenne.....P.S....Ever been to moms in greenville for the steak sandwitches.
