Katsura in Autumn
Katsura Tree
This tree was planted by us 20 years ago under the impression that it would only grow to half the height it has achieved. Very please we were wrong as it is magnificent – especially in the fall as the colours mature to bright yellow. In the half light of morning and evening (this was early morning) it starts to seemingly glow from within.

An Ancient Lakeshore
Once there was the sea …
A few thousand years ago as the last age was melting, what is now Montreal was mostly at the bottom of a huge sea. Gradually the water levels fell and islands appeared. This bank was once a lakeshore shelving down into the water and this forest is now growing on what was once a sandy beach.
This seashore is in the Arboretum.

Hollowed Out
Well worked Stump
IN the arboretum near the quarry – this tree must have fallen many years ago and now the remnant stump has been thoroughly worked over by insects and woodpeckers to an almost lace-like state.

Lichens
In the arboretum again – two species of lichen on this piece of bark.
The grey one is possibly Greenshield lichen while the orange one is, as far as I can ascertain, Candleflame Lichen (Candelaria concolor)

Pause Awhile
Arboretum – Main Trail
The arboretum has a number of memorial benches (good fund raiser) – on hot days they can be exceptionally welcome to the walkers passing by. This one is in the middle of the oldest (maple) sugar bush on Montreal island.
