Hi, Attached is an old photo of some Oak Trees, the trees are no longer there. This is the only picture I have and wondering if anyone can identify them.
The trees in the photo have grown in a fashion influenced strongly by their proximity to the ocean. Most trees are quite intolerant of salt spray. It's impossible to tell from your photo if the trees are even oak, though they do appear to be a deciduous broadleaf. If they are oaks, the only native oak to Nova Scotia is Quercus rubra (Red Oak).
Hi all, They most definitely Oak trees. It is well documented. I'm trying to find a better picture. I should mention they were a part of Oak Island. For those of you who don't know about Oak Island, it is considered the world's longest treasure hunt. (info: oakislandcoffeehouse.com) There has always been a debate whether or not the Oak trees were native to Nova Scotia or were they placed their by the (supposed) depositors. I see want more info I can find. Thanks for the help.
You have your answer: >If they are oaks, the only native oak to Nova Scotia is Quercus rubra (Red Oak)<
