Question
A grove of about 30 small trees on Lexington's Lower Vinebrook path. No fruits or flowers seen but it seems sort of like the Asimina Triloba I got at NEWFS a few weeks ago.
Answer
Dear bkatzenberg, the plants you've photographed do look like Asimina triloba. I'm unaware of any naturalized occurrences in New England. Do you know if these were planted? It would be great to discuss this occurrence with you further to identify if these trees are spreading from the original source (i.e., are naturalizing). My email is ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and I would appreciate discussing this with you. Best wishes.
