  4. #January 18, 2013
    #OTD Reuters news reported on the #Botanical #Artwork controversy re: new #Canadian currency.

    Unfortunately, the #Maple #Leaf on the 20-dollar note was the #Norway Maple and NOT the #Sugar Maple - the Country's emblem.

    The #Botanist, Sean #Blaney, who tracks #Plants for the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Center in #NewBrunswick, noticed the error.

    The Norway Maple has more lobes than the Sugar Maple. 😱🍁

  5. #January 7, 1776
    #OTD Spencer Turner, Leyton #Nurseryman, died.

    Spencer created the Turner's #Oak & gifted one to Princess Augusta for #Kew Gardens.

    Planted in the1770's, the #Tree still stands w/ metal struts for support betw/ the PoW Conservatory & the Hive.

    The Great Storm (1987) lifted the tree out of the #Earth, freed the #RootPlate from centuries of #Compacted #Soil, & inspired #Arborists to rethink compaction.
    They now use air spades to inject #Nitrogen & #Mycorrhizal #Fungi.
