I'm hoping someone there can help me identify a tree I saw in Northeastern Mexico. I have no idea if it is local or imported. I have attached a picture - sorry about the blurry picture, it was a borrowed camera and I was unsure how to use it. The pink "berries" are a thin brittle-shelled seed that had a turpentine type smell when crushed. Any ideas?
Thanks! That was quick. It does appear to match. I wonder how invasive this would be where I was as it is in the middle of the desert; I looked it up on other sites and it appears to proliferate in moister areas. Glad I only took a picture home with me!
As far as I know, it'll tolerate a fairly wide range of moisture conditions. But you needn't worry about it being invasive in Alberta, it can't take more than 3 or 4 degrees below freezing.
