Prariefire Crabapple Malus ‘Prariefire’ Prariefire Crabapple Malus ‘Prariefire’ • • ZONE: 3-8 SHAPE: Low, dense, broadly rounded HEIGHT: 15-20’ EXPOSURE: Full Sun SPREAD: 15’ GROWTH RATE: SOILS: Capable of growing in a wide range of soils & conditions. Tolerates Acidic, Alkaline, Clay, Loamy, Moist, Wet, Sandy. Prefers Well-Drained. DESCRIPTION: This hardy tree is capable of growing in a wide range of soil and water conditions. Yet, it is a beautiful four-season ornamental tree. Its dark red, cherry-like bark is prominent in winter landscapes. Profuse numbers of crimson buds open to long-lasting dark pink & purple-red blossoms. Leaves first emerge a glossy deep purple, turning to dark green with purplish veins in summer and brilliant orange-golds in autumn. This is an excellent landscape tree that can be planted near utility lines due its short height and adjacent to paved roads because of a trunk that remains narrow while the branches stretch out broadly and densely. The Prairiefire Crabapple is disease-resistant and adaptable to many different site conditions. WILDLIFE VALUE: • The fruits are an important food source for songbirds and upland game. HISTORY / LORE / USE: • The tree was introduced by Dr. Daniel Dayton, University of Illinois, in 1982 as a disease-resistant cultivar. Crab apples are a good source of pectin – their juice can be made into spicy preserves or added in small proportion to cider for extra flavor. The wood is popular when smoking foods, as it gives off a pleasant scent and produces a hot, slow fire without much flame. MOISTURE: • Some drought resistance. LEAVES / NEEDLES: • Leaves alternate and are simple, oval, 1 to 4 inches long. Young leaves are deep red- purple that matures to dark green in summer. Turns brilliant orange-gold in autumn. FLOWER COLOR: BLOOM TIME: • Pink, red flowers May FRUIT DESCRIPTION: • Produces shiny 1/2" red-purple edible fruit, striking against the orange foliage of fall. • Crabapples are self-fertile, which means they depend on insects such as bees to transfer pollen between flowers on the same tree, though they do not require another tree of the same kind to produce crabapples.

Bird Population Changes Following the Establishment of a Diverse Stand of Woody Plants in a Former Crop Field in North Dakota, 1975– 2015 Lawrence D. Igl, Harold A. Kantrud, and Wesley E. Newton ABSTRACT— Changes in the coverage of trees and shrubs on the North Dakota landscape since Euro- American settlement have likely had a pronounced impact on bird species that favor woody vegetation. Long- term data sets on breeding bird populations in wooded habitats in North Dakota or in the Great Plains are scarce. In 1975 a wildlife habitat plot was established in a 10.5 ha cropland fi eld with a long history of small- grain production. Th e objective of this article is to evaluate the successional changes in bird populations as the habitat at this site became more biologically and structurally complex aft er the establishment of a diverse stand of shrubs and trees.

  • Page 1 the Following Pages Outline Phasing Recommendations for The
    Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Master Site Plan PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION he following pages outline phasing recommendations for the KruckebergT Botanic Garden that seem desirable to address the needs, vision, and requirements of a private garden’s evolution into the publc domain. With the transfer of this property from a private residence to a commercial public entity, new sets of codes, restrictions, and opportunities come into play. These deal with public safety, health, and well-being and ensure that equal opportunities are afforded to all. Within a limited budget, Phase 1 responds to these immediate needs by providing on-site public parking to reduce impacts to the surrounding residential community, adding much needed public restrooms, and creating a permanent and separate service access road and staff parking area. Phase 2 focuses on siting an interpretive switchback boardwalk trail that connects the upper and lower gardens in an aesthetic ADA-compliant manner. It is also envi- sioned that an ADA-compliant loop path would be routed through the lower garden. While it would be optimal to build the environmental learning center in Phase 2, it is recognized that lack of funding may require deferment to a later phase. Further development of future phases depends on many factors, most importantly securing funding and the commitment of the City, Foundation, and public to sup- port and encourage new work to proceed. In the end, this alone will determine how quickly Garden projects are completed and the Garden vision, as outlined in this report, is realized. This is a modest plan as represented by the development costs associated with each phase in 2010 dollars.

The screening was performed under experimental inocula- tion and natural infection conditions. Criteria for the resistance rating were occurrence of AP symptoms, percentage of affected trees, incidence of the small fruit symptom and the effect of the disease on vigor. In all trials, similar results were obtained. Satis- factory resistance was only identified in trees grown on progenies of M. sieboldii and M. sieboldii-derived experimental root- stocks.

Evaluation of the Crabapple (Malus) Collection and Assessment of the Crabapple Slope Abstract This project began in response to space on the slope for more crabapple trees and a need to evaluate the current crabapple collection. As such, this project examined the collection as a whole with special attention to the slope. The Morris Arboretum had 48 crabapple trees as of 2018. The vast majority were planted in two locations: the slope by the rose garden and on the farm between the community garden and the executive director’s residence. The initial examination of the collection showed only two native crabapple specimens (Malus coronaria) both with a provenance of Maryland. Propagation of a tree with more local provenance was done to improve and expand the Malus collection. The four parts to this project included development and implementation of evaluation criteria, soil testing of the slope, recommendations of crabapple cultivars to fill empty spaces on the slope, and propagation of a native crabapple (Malus coronaria) with local provenance Disciplines Horticulture Comments An independent study project report by The Charles C.

The PBRA Unit is also responsible for assessing the pest potential of plant imports and plant species new to Canada. Risk assessments conducted by the PBRA Unit require biological information about the plant species being assessed. Therefore, these assessments can be done in conjunction with species­specific biology documents that provide the necessary biological information. When a PNT is assessed, these biology documents serve as companion documents to Dir94­08: Assessment Criteria for Determining Environmental Safety of Plants with Novel Traits.

Powers ROADWAYROADWAY PLANTPLANT LISTLIST Acting Commissioner Compiled by DIVISION OF ENGINEERING TH 7 Edition HISTORIC GARFIELD BOULEVARD CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ROADWAY PLANT LIST The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Division of Engineering is pleased to present the newest edition of the City of Chicago’s Roadway Plant List, intended as a resource for landscape architects. CDOT has evaluated the plants on this list based on its years of experience maintaining medians and other roadside locations. The accompanying comments are based on the plants’ ability to withstand salt spray and other urban roadway conditions. Although no scientific trials were conducted, installation and maintenance of the plant material have been done in accordance with standard CDOT specifications. As a result, cultural conditions such as soil structure, composition and moisture are known factors. CDOT’s list highlights plant materials in order of consideration. Dark gray rows indicate plants that are not recommended. Light gray rows include plant materials that are currently under evaluation or have not yet been used. It also indicates plant selections which survive in the roadway but have attributes which negatively affect the plant’s performance in a municipal application. Although the “concerns” are independent of CDOT’s assessment of the plants’ sustenance in the roadway, CDOT expects selections to consist of plants that both survive on medians and have no additional concerns. We hope this guide proves a valuable tool for industry professionals. For more information, please contact CDOT’s Division of Engineering at (312) 744-3520.
