Massachusetts, Worcester Co., northeastern outskirts of
Sturbridge, along Hwy. 20 (Main Street) between New
Boston Road and Fairground Road.
42 06'46"N, 72 05'09" W alt. 180 m.
Brushy area with small trees, between road and edge of
Cedar Pond, with Betula populifolia, Aronia melanocarpa,
Spiraea alba, Elaeagnus umbellata, Ilex verticillata.
Shrub 3 m. tall. Fruit green. A number of similar plants
here, some probably planted, some probably naturalized but
beneath power lines where the vegetation is often cleared,
so hard to tell the status. Some variation in size of fruit from
tree to tree.
