[CANUFNET] Urban nut being trees

[Ethier Elaine]

Hello,
Quite a few around churches and old cemeteries.  The town of Hudson area in Québec (151 years) has quite a few nut trees planted by settlers and since growing from seed on private and public land ; Juglan nigra (a provincial Champion), Juglan cinerea, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus rubra (the biggest specimen in the province, DHP 206cm was documented a few weeks ago) etc. Some rare nut trees in STE-Anne de Bellevue along Lake St-Louis, Juglan cinerea at Tatja Hall near the MacDonald campus.

 Some are remarquable and are Heritage. The Morgan arboretum in Senneville, managed by McGill university has many nut trees. So does the Montreal Botanical  Gardens. The Town of Oka, near the Ferry landing and the church, have several Aesculus hippocastanus, [image1.JPG]

A great White Pine forest with several great Royal eagle couples as well as some Great Bald eagles.

There is an association to look at : http://www.noixduquebec.org/

Check out re  school yards - i.e. I understand that  toronto has stopped planting nut trees due to allergies  - e.g. kids eating the nuts
also a  private home owners removed an oak tree because it dropped acorns on his car!
so public green spaces may be best bet

Dear CUFN, I seek lists of nut bearing tree species found growing in Canada’s urban forests. Any pointers? Hank
