One thing you did not mention is Rosa rugosa, or rose hips. Astounding amounts of Vitamin C, and I know they will grow in Maine. However it is a bush, not a tree, so I'm not sure where it would be found. It may grow wild, for all I know!

I think they call them primroses around here. They're very popular and quite fragrant! They grow wild all over the Casco Bay Islands. Good luck thinning them out though unless you have a chainmail suit!

Yes maybe that's it! They're all over the place near the coast. They're some kind of little rose and they have big rose hips left when the petals drop off. See how much I know about flowers???!! NADA.
If you can find a conducive spot for them, where they have the least impact on other trees, they do yield an interesting nut. We've harvested them from neighbors and elsewhere for years.; Extremely hard to crack. the hardest, but a spicy and pungent walnut. Makes good extract for flavorings. the wood is renown for good quality furniture .
I've boiled the black walnut for years in nylon stockings to make dye for my baskets. There were a number of them on the lawns at Ft. Dix. The grass under them was so/so. They do make a nice shade tree, but the nuts are messy if you don't use them for anything.

The common beach roses are a type of Rosa Rugosa. Grows all around ME in many waste places. I've been caught transplanting wild ones to my garden, but this year I splurged and bought a yellow one.

My brother found some white ones around a foundation and transplanted them to the side of his garage. Now he has a huge mixed rose bush and it's quite nice.

I have a very long list of shrubs and bushes that we wish to plant.

I got him to do some grafting of a couple of my old apple trees. He's one heck of a nice guy.
