Azalea Path (Blessing Side) Azalea Path (Blessing Side) Bed Map Winding its’ way around the Slane Center bordering the walkway and continuing behind Blessing Residence Hall, this garden offers a colorful contrast to the neighboring ponds and splashing fountains. A generous donation of 50 Encore® Azaleas from Pender Nursery (Garner, NC) in 2009 was a welcome expansion of the collection. Hues ranging from ruby reds to pinks and purples erupt in spring with rebloom occurring in fall, truly a magnificent sight to behold. In spring of 2012, an additional donation by Flowerwood Nursery in Loxley, AL brought the number of different Encore® Azaleas to 23. Late fall 2013 saw additional renovation and expansion of the garden enlarging the collection to over 85 different types of azaleas. Additional planting of spring and fall blooming perennials, several thousand daffodils donated by Brent & Becky's Bulbs, and assorted flowering trees and shrubs should create a explosion of color in spring and continue with interest into summer and hit another high note in fall.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

  • A Fresh Look at a Traditional Favorite: Rhododendrons
    A Fresh Look at a Traditional Favorite: Rhododendrons Richard Brooks hododendrons have been used exten- sively in New England landscapes for JL ~~ nearly a century and a half. Everywhere you go you see them: in parks and public build- ings, lined up m front of filling stations, in resi- dential foundation plantings, and sometimes even naturalized in woodlands. I think that qualifies them as "traditional favorites."" But I would guess that 99 percent of the rhododendrons commonly seen represent a very small group-perhaps ten or a dozen-of "tried and true" varieties, such as ’Roseum Elegans’, or the ubiquitous ’PJM’, or the evergreen azalea ’Hino Cmmson’, or occasionally some of the flamboyant Exbury hybrid deciduous azaleas. ’Firestorm’ Now I have nothing against these old-timers. hundred and one thousand that inhabit They have proven their mettle by surviving and species the wild areas of the and from them have flourishing despite the vicissitudes of our noto- world, been are still rious New England climate.

  • Additional Guidance for Landscape Design This Information Is Not
    Additional Guidance for Landscape Design This information is not intended to be comprehensive and should serve as additional guidance. Department approval or availability of plant material at nurseries is not guaranteed. Invasive trees and plantings are not permitted in landscaping. Please see the Tree and Shrub List. A minimum of 70% native trees and shrubs and 30% non-invasive/non-native is the expectation for plant selection. For plant diversity, you should incorporate the 10-20-30 percent rule for plantings. No more than 10% of the same species, 20% on the same genus and 30% in the same family to help diversify the landscape. When you select plantings, please keep in mind diseases and insect infestations, such as Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) and Bacterial Leaf Scorch (BLS), that could affect your plantings. Only native trees are to be used in forested area connectivity.
