Fedco Trees Guarantee Policy Please inspect your order upon receipt and notify us immediately if something is missing or incorrect. Occasionally, plants incur damage during shipping. If limbs or tops are broken, prune to the next good bud. e plant will do ne. We guarantee to ship you a plant that is healthy, will leaf out, and is true to name. We expect that you will care for the plant from the moment it arrives, plant it in a timely fashion, water it (about 1" per week aer bud swell) and protect it (see pp. 67-70.) Because we have no control over growing conditions such as weather, soil, cultural practices, pests, wildlife, or weed whackers, we cannot guarantee a plant’s survival past leaf break. If you see no sign of life, scratch the outer bark with your ngernail. If the inner bark is green, the tree is still alive. Some plants take longer than others to break dormancy, so you may need to be patient. If you have thoroughly cared for the plant and it dies, we will refund the cost of the plant. In some cases, we may choose to issue a partial refund. We cannot oer replacements. Inevitably, some plants die through no fault of yours or ours.

    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

  • Disease-Resistant Crabapples

    Disease-Resistant Crabapples

    Education Center and Info Line practical solutions to everyday questions Toll free Info Line 1-877-398-4769 M-F • 9 AM - 2 PM W • 5 - 7:30 PM Disease-Resistant Crabapples Crabapples are a mainstay of our landscape palette in New England. Their beautiful bloom, small stature, and attractive fruit give them year-round interest…unless they are devastated by disease! Crabapples are susceptible to four major diseases which can cause early defoliation, disfigurement and weakening of trees. Apple scab is the most common and most serious of the diseases. It shows up on leaves as olive green spots with a velvety, grayish surface. In July leaves often turn yellow or orange and drop from the tree. Another serious disease, fire blight, causes the leaves to blacken, shrivel and hang down. Cedar apple rust shows up as conspicuous bright yellow to orange spots on the upper leaf surfaces. And powdery mildew appears in mid-summer as patches of grayish white powder on leaves and fruit. You probably don’t want plants that have to be sprayed in order to be attractive! Many of the older varieties may look great in flower but then succumb to scab or other disease in mid-summer, looking tattered and torn for the remainder of the season. Some cultivars and hybrids that are readily available and have shown good resistance in many trials nationwide are listed below. All have single flowers and small fruit (less than 5/8" diameter). The temperatures at the end of each description are cold hardiness ratings from the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

  • Kale Apple Cake

    Kale Apple Cake

    RECIPE Hero Vegetable: Kale Kale Apple Cake Ingredients: 2 cups fresh kale, stems removed and roughly chopped 2 cups flour 3 apples, cored, and sliced into wedges 1 ¼ cup sugar ½ cup unsalted butter, melted ½ cup milk 3 eggs 1 Tbs lemon juice 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp salt ¼ cup sliced almonds (optional) powdered sugar for sprinkling(optional) Directions: Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease then fit a round sheet of parchment paper inside the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan, set aside. Steam or lightly boil the kale for about 2 minutes. The kale should be tender. Puree the kale leaves in a blender with a spoonful of water until smooth. Don’t add more water as the kale will release its own juices. (Now if your blender isn’t breaking up the kale easily, you can use the milk at this step instead of later to blend the kale if it makes it easier to puree) In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the eggs, kale puree, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk, mixing until the batter just combined. Pour in the cooled melted butter and beat until well incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. (If the batter is thick, this is ok. The apples will release juices as the cake bakes.) Arrange the apple slices into the batter, pushing them into the batter slightly. Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the cake batter. Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake (not into an apple) comes out clean.

Although more than 10,000 cultivars are documented, only a few dozen are grown on a commercial scale worldwide. Despite the abundant number of cultivars there is a demand for new cultivars better adapted to climatic conditions/changes and sustainable production. Yet, the challenge for apple breeding is the establishment of improved, multiple disease resistant cultivars with high and regularly yield suited for modern production systems. Due to the fast development of molecular techniques an increasing knowledge on the genome of apple is available, e.g. the whole genome sequence of ‘Golden Delicious’ (Velasco et al. 2010). Molecular markers for a lot of major traits, mostly resistance genes, and QTLs facilitate marker assisted selection, especially the pyramiding of resistance genes to achieve more durable resistance. Mainly the breakdown of the Rvi6 (Vf) scab resistance enhanced the breeding for pyramided resistance genes. But nevertheless, until now there is a gap between the existing molecular knowledge and its application in apple breeding. This paper will focus on the origin and domestication of apple, breeding objectives and classical as well as molecular approaches to achieve breeding aims.
