  • 'Ivory Silk' Japanese Tree Lilac
    Fact Sheet ST-611 October 1994 Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Although a Lilac, this member of the species is quite different in appearance than those with which gardeners are more familiar (Fig. 1). Its upright habit varies from symmetrical to irregular but is more consistent than the species. Cultivars including ‘Ivory Silk’ and ‘Summer Snow’ could be used instead of the species due to the more consistent habit and more flowers. ‘Ivory Silk’ grows well only in USDA hardiness zones 3 through six (perhaps into 7) and has an oval or pyramidal form when young but spreads to a rounded shape as it grows older. This is a very large shrub or small tree, reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet with a 15-foot-spread. The huge clusters of creamy white flowers, borne in early summer for about two weeks, are the main ornamental feature but lack the fragrance of the spring-blooming Lilacs -- this Lilac’s fragrance is more suggestive of Privet. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ Pronunciation: sih-RING-guh reh-tick-yoo-LAY-tuh Common name(s): ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac Family: Oleaceae Figure 1.

PALABRAS CLAVES: Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Menophra abruptaria, Malta. Introduction Menophra abruptaria (Thunberg, 1792) is distributed throughout southern and western North Africa, southern Europe and Asia Minor. In northern Europe, it is found from the British Isles to Switzerland and south-western Germany (HAUSMANN et al., 2011). In Malta the genus Menophra is represented by one other rare species Menophra japygiaria (O. Costa, 1849) (SAMMUT 2000). Although rare, this species has been recorded from various habitats and appears to be quite well established due to the fact that planting of olive trees, both for fruit and oil production and for ornamental purposes in landscaping has greatly increased in recent times.

  • CHINESE PRIVET Due to Its Ability to Successfully Compete with And
    Plant Guide by this species is large-scale ecosystem modification CHINESE PRIVET due to its ability to successfully compete with and Ligustrum sinense Lour. displace native vegetation. Chinese privet plants Plant Symbol = LISI mature rapidly and are prolific seed producers. They also reproduce vegetatively by means of root suckers. Contributed by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data Once established, Chinese privet is difficult to Center & Louisiana State University-Plant Science; eradicate because of its reproductive capacity. partial funding from the US Geological Survey and the US National Biological Information Impact/Vectors: Ligustrum sinense is native to China Infrastructure and was introduced into the United States in 1852 for use as an ornamental shrub. It is used for hedge and mass plantings, and sometimes as single specimens for its foliage and its profusion of small white flowers (Dirr 1990; Wyman 1973). It continues to be widely sold in the nursery and gardening industry. The foliage of Chinese privet is also used, presumably, for cut-flower arrangements. This horticultural introduction has been cultivated for a relatively long time in the United States. Wyman (1973) reports that this species is still growing as a hedge on the old Berkman’s Nursery grounds in Augusta, Georgia, where it was planted in the early 1860’s. It was planted on the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park after it came under the control of the Secretary of War in 1890. Present day plants are descendants of those early plantings (Faulkner et al. 1989). According to Small (1933), the species was escaping from cultivation in southern Louisiana by the 1930’s.

  • Taxonomic Overview of Ligustrum (Oleaceae) Naturalizaed in North America North of Mexico
    Phytologia (December 2009) 91(3) 467 TAXONOMIC OVERVIEW OF LIGUSTRUM (OLEACEAE) NATURALIZAED IN NORTH AMERICA NORTH OF MEXICO Guy L. Nesom 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, TX 76109, USA www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT A key, morphological descriptions, and basic synonymy are provided for the eight species of Ligustrum known to be naturalized in North America north of Mexico: L. japonicum, L. lucidum, L. obtusifolium (including L. amurense), L. ovalifolium, L. quihoui, L. sinense, L. tschonoskii, and L. vulgare. Identifications have been inconsistent particularly between L. sinense and L. vulgare and between L. japonicum and L. lucidum. The occurrence of L. quihoui outside of cultivation in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma is documented. Phytologia 91(3): 467-482 (December, 2009). KEY WORDS: Ligustrum, Oleaceae, North America, naturalized, taxonomy The lustrous, mostly evergreen leaves and masses of white, fragrant flowers make privets popular for landscaping and hedges. Many of the species, however, have become naturalized in the USA and Canada and already have proved to be destructive colonizers, especially in the Southeast. Among the naturalized species, European privet (Ligustrum vulgare) is native to Europe and northern Africa; all the rest are native to Asia, mainly China, Japan, and Korea. Many new species and varieties of Ligustrum have been described since overviews of Koehne (1904), Lingelsheim (1920), and Mansfield (1924). The genus in eastern Asia has recently been studied by Chang & Miao (1986), and Qin (2009) has provided a taxonomic overview of the whole genus that recognizes 37 species - divided into five sections based primarily on fruit and seed morphology. In Qin’s arrangement, among the North American species, sect.

  • Privet (Ligustrum Spp.)
    W233 Privet (Ligustrum spp.) Becky Koepke-Hill, Extension Assistant, Plant Sciences Greg Armel, Assistant Professor, Extension Weed Specialist for Invasive Weeds, Plant Sciences Origin: Privet species are native to Europe, Asia and Africa and were introduced to the United States primarily for use in the landscape as hedges or tree sculptures. Description: These evergreen to semi-evergreen shrubs can grow up to 15 feet in height. Leaves are glossy with a smooth margin and have an opposite arrangement. Small plumes of white flowers appear in early sum- mer at the end of branches; by fall, dark blue berries are produced. This shrub grows in dense thickets, crowding out many other species growing in the area. Japanese privet (L. japonicum) has tapering, sharp- tipped leaves that can reach 2 to 4 inches long and 1 to 1.8 inches wide. These shrubs are dark green on the upper leaf surface and have pale green veins on the lower leaf surface. Chinese privet (L. sinense) has smaller, thinner and more wavy leaves (1 to 2 inches long by 0.5 to 1 inch wide), and is usually shorter in height. Young branches and midveins on the underside of the leaf are densely pubescent. Habitat: Privet grows in fields, hedgerows, woodlands, for- est edges, upland areas and disturbed areas such as roadsides. Privet species are both shade- and drought- tolerant, which contributes to privets being able to out-compete native species. Environmental Impact: Dense privet hedges prevent the growth of native species and can create a monoculture over time. Many bird and animal species feed on privet fruit and will spread the seed through their feces.

  • Identification and Control of Invasive Privets (Ligustrum Spp.) in the Middle Southern United States
    Invasive Plant Science and Management 2010 3:482–488 Notes and Commentary Identification and Control of Invasive Privets (Ligustrum spp.) in the Middle Southern United States Victor Maddox, John Byrd, Jr., and Brett Serviss* The identification of privet in the middle southern United States can be difficult. Because most introduced species of privet can be invasive, and recent mapping projects seek location and species population data, proper identification is important. Without proper identification of privet species, data on species distributions and other pertinent information regarding invasiveness could lead to improper conclusions. Currently, information on privet identification is scattered throughout a number of reference materials. The purpose of this publication is to assist with the proper identification of escaped privet species, and suggest management options.
