Additional Lubec Views
For two weeks in May, Lubec is a profusion of white-topped trees resembling Washington DC�s apple blossoms display. North Lubec Road, a five mile peninsula off of Route 189 is the pallet on which these beautiful images are painted.
There are few places in Maine that afford such a startling panorama of contrasts. Downeast Maine, and especially Lubec has the most dazzling display in the state. Campobello Island, Canada has a smaller display, but Lubec is overwhelmed with the vision. A newcomer to the area should travel this road before Memorial Day week to enjoy the view.
Lubec�s White Trees
Service Berry Trees and Wild Pear Trees
The local inhabitants know the pure white trees as �wild pear trees�. Those trees that have a background of red-rust colored leaves with white blossoms are called �service berry trees�. From a distance this second type of tree casts a pinkish-white hue. When the sunlight is strong, the bright whites and subtle pinks are a stark contrast to the backgrounds of firs, spruces and the multitude of red and sugar maple trees that are just beginning to bud for the spring.
