Bachman's Landscaping Maack's Spindle Tree

Maack's Spindle Tree Euonymus hamiltonianus Height: 12 feet Spread: 10 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 4 Other Names: Yeddo Euonymus, Chinese Spindle Tree Description: A fine small multistemmed tree with highly ornamental orange and pink seeds and reddish-purple fall color, good for small home landscape use; susceptible to scale insect troubles, monitor and treat as necessary Maack's Spindle Tree in bloom Ornamental Features Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Maack's Spindle Tree has dark green foliage throughout the season. The pointy leaves turn an outstanding brick red in the fall. The flowers are not ornamentally significant. It produces pink capsules from mid to late fall. Landscape Attributes Maack's Spindle Tree is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage. This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration; - Insects Maack's Spindle Tree is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Accent - Mass Planting Maack's Spindle Tree fruit - Hedges/Screening Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Planting & Growing Maack's Spindle Tree will grow to be about 12 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 10 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years. This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This species is not originally from North America..

Leaves opposite, rarely also alternate or whorled, entire, serrulate, or crenate, stipulate. Inflorescences axillary, occasionally terminal, cymose. Flowers bisexual, 4(or 5)-merous; petals light yellow to dark purple. Disk fleshy, annular, 4- or 5-lobed, intrastaminal or stamens on disk; anthers longitudinally or obliquely dehiscent, introrse. Ovary 4- or 5-locular; ovules erect to pendulous, 2(–12) per locule. Capsule globose, rugose, prickly, laterally winged or deeply lobed, occasionally only 1–3 lobes developing, loculicidally dehiscent. Seeds 1 to several, typically 2 developing, ellipsoid; aril basal to enveloping seed.

Ed. 1: 38. 1955) was described from Sichuan (Emei Shan, Shishungou, ca. 1300 m). This putative species was misdiagnosed; it is a synonym of Reevesia pubescens Masters in the Sterculiaceae (see Fl. China 12: 317. 2007). The protologue describes the fruit as having bracts. The placement of Euonymus tibeticus W. W. Smith (Rec. Bot. Surv. India 4: 264. 1911), described from Xizang (3000–3100 m) and also occurring in Bhutan (Lhakhang) and India (Sikkim), is unclear, as only a specimen with flower buds is available. Euonymus cinereus M. A. Lawson (in J. D. Hooker, Fl. Brit. India 1: 611. 1875) was described from India.

Studies of Fruit and Seed Characters of Selected Euonymus Species Bernd Schulz, Translated by Wolfgang Bopp
Studies of fruit and seed characters of selected Euonymus species Bernd Schulz, translated by Wolfgang Bopp Summary Euonymus species are particularly prized for their decorative fruits. This work describes and illustrates (in water colour), the fruits and seeds of 30 commonly cultivated species found in Central European plant collections. The text discusses the criteria for species differentiation. As well as the shape of the fruits and seeds, seed colouration is described and compared to several published accounts in an attempt to correct previous misconceptions. This paper was originally published in German in 2006 (Schulz, 2006a). This translation contains some minor additions and adjustments to the original text and has been translated to the best of our ability, albeit not being a 100% accurate translation. 1 Introduction The German common name of Euonymus europaeus, is “Pfaffenhütchen” which translates as priest’s hat or mitre, in reference to its shape. In past centuries, the wearing of such a hat was a status symbol, showing the belonging to a professional group. Priests in Germany have, since the sixteenth century, been wearing the so-called biretta1,”a stiff and square-shaped head covering as worn by priests, also found in a wider and bigger version“ (Loschek 1993). In Germany today certain clerics wear a very similar head covering, closely resembling the shape of Euonymus europaeus fruits. While I never intended to get as closely involved with this genus, the very attractive nature of the fruits and seeds captivated me, and led me to produce this work. Prior to turning to the fruits of woody broadleaves, I primarily studied the winter buds and twigs of deciduous trees and shrubs (Schulz 1999, 2004, 2006b), a subject which was then little published, apart from the works by Schneider (1903) and Trelease (1931).

Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a Further Comparison
photograph © Zhang Lin A rare view of Wa Shan almost minus its shroud of mist, viewed from the Abies fabri forested slopes of Emei Shan. At its far left the mist-filled Dadu River gorge drops to 500-600m. To its right the 3048m high peak of Mao Kou Shan climbed by Ernest Wilson on 3 July 1903. “As seen from the top of Mount Omei, it resembles a huge Noah’s Ark, broadside on, perched high up amongst the clouds” (Wilson 1913, describing Wa Shan floating in the proverbial ‘sea of clouds’). Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a further comparison CHRIS CALLAGHAN of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum 72 updates his woody plants comparison of Wa Shan and its sister mountain, World Heritage-listed Emei Shan, finding Wa Shan to be deserving of recognition as one of the planet’s top hotspots for biological diversity. The founding fathers of modern day botany in China all trained at western institutions in Europe and America during the early decades of last century. In particular, a number of these eminent Chinese botanists, Qian Songshu (Prof. S. S. Chien), Hu Xiansu (Dr H. H. Hu of Metasequoia fame), Chen Huanyong (Prof. W. Y. Chun, lead author of Cathaya argyrophylla), Zhong Xinxuan (Prof. H. H. Chung) and Prof. Yung Chen, undertook their training at various institutions at Harvard University between 1916 and 1926 before returning home to estab- lish the initial Chinese botanical research institutions, initiate botanical exploration and create the earliest botanical gardens of China (Li 1944). It is not too much to expect that at least some of them would have had personal encounters with Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson who was stationed at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard between 1910 and 1930 for the final 20 years of his life.

Plants of the Seattle Japanese Garden 2020
PLANTS OF THE SEATTLE JAPANESE GARDEN 2020 Acknowledgments The SJG Plant Committee would like to thank our Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) gardeners and the Niwashi volunteers for their dedication to this garden. Senior gardener Peter Putnicki displays exceptional leadership and vision, and is fully engaged in garden maintenance as well as in shaping the garden’s evolution. Gardeners Miriam Preus, Andrea Gillespie and Peter worked throughout the winter and spring to ensure that the garden would be ready when the Covid19 restrictions permitted it to re-open. Like all gardens, the Seattle Japanese Garden is a challenging work in progress, as plants continue to grow and age and need extensive maintenance, or removal & replacement. This past winter, Pete introduced several new plants to the garden – Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Wedding Gown’, Osmanthus fragrans, and Cercidiphyllum japonicum ‘Morioka Weeping’. The Plant Committee is grateful to our gardeners for continuing to provide us with critical information about changes to the plant collection. The Plant Committee (Hiroko Aikawa, Maggie Carr, Sue Clark, Kathy Lantz, chair, Corinne Kennedy, Aleksandra Monk and Shizue Prochaska) revised and updated the Plant Booklet. This year we welcome four new members to the committee – Eleanore Baxendale, Joanie Clarke, Patti Brawer and Pamela Miller. Aleksandra Monk continues to be the chief photographer of the plants in the garden and posts information about plants in bloom and seasons of interest to the SJG Community Blog and related SJG Bloom Blog. Corinne Kennedy is a frequent contributor to the SJG website and published 2 articles in the summer Washington Park Arboretum Bulletin highlighting the Japanese Garden – Designed in the Stroll-Garden Style and Hidden Treasure of the Japanese Garden.
