While hiking on Rattlesnake Island a few weeks ago, I came across this really interesting and beautiful tree that was flowering. I could not figure out what it was, but UNH Cooperative Extension did.







If I am not mistaken, the bridge between Birch and Steamboat island is made from this type of tree.

I did not realize there were hiking trails on Rattlesanke! How do you access ... I'd love to see the tree!
