The period has been dominated by mostly sunny days with highs in the 70s and lows in the 60s. Less than a quarter inch of precipitation fell during the two-week period, occurring on July 30 and August 2. Soil moisture is short and the US drought monitor lists portions of the Cape abnormally dry and portions in moderate drought. Woody plants seen in bloom the past two weeks include sourwood, rose of Sharon, chaste tree, mimosa, summersweet, buttery bush, as well as oak, panicle and bigleaf hydrangeas. Herbaceous plants seen in bloom during the period include daylily, liatris, echinacea, shasta daisy, coreopsis, lavender, hosta, Salvia yangii (previously known as Perovskia atriplicifolia, commonly called Russian sage), creeping bellower, achillea, buttery weed, Baptisia tinctoria, veronicastrum, blue vervain, beebalm, garden phlox, black-eyed Susan, balloon ower, and cutleaf coneower. Pests/Problems: Insect pests or damage seen include Japanese beetle on various plants, daylily leafminer damage on daylily, euonymus scale on euonymus, white prunicola scale on lilac, scale on tupelo, black turpentine beetle on pitch pine, pine tip moth on pitch pine (causing signicant damage on young trees across mid and outer Cape), hibiscus sawy on hardy hibiscus, thrips on gladiolus and crocosmia, azalea lacebug on azalea, andromeda lacebug on andromeda, oak shothole leafminer damage on oak, eriophyid mites on black cherry, tupelo, and birch. After several seasons of high lecanium scale populations, it is now dicult to nd in the areas I have scouted. Plant disease symptoms or signs observed during the period include maple anthracnose, sycamore anthracnose, both powdery and downy mildews and black spot on rose, leaf spot on river birch, apple scab and cedar-apple rust on crabapple, aster yellows on purple coneower, cercospora leaf spot on hydrangea, powdery mildew on smokebush, dogwood, and numerous perennials, anthracnose on dogwood, guignardia leaf blotch on horsechestnut, and needlecast on pitch pine. Physiological leaf scorch is showing up on dogwoods due to low soil moisture. Weeds and wildowers seen in bloom were sheep’s bit (Jasione montana), spotted knapweed, rabbitfoot clover, chicory, carpetweed, prostrate spurge, Pennsylvania smartweed, annual eabane, pokeweed, white clover, birdsfoot trefoil, yellow toadax, Queen Annes’ lace, goldenrod, pepperweed, horseweed, tansy, pilewort, cat’s ear, and narrowleaf plantain. Don’t forget to protect yourself from mosquitoes and ticks. Rabbits continue to be a landscape problem for most people. Southeast Region (Dighton) General Conditions: It's been hard to nd fault with the weather over the past two weeks, presented with mild days and frequent light showers in the evening. Remarkably, even unirrigated lawns are still green and show few signs of stress. In a more typical summer most lawns would already be drought dormant. Among the many plants in ower, I've noticed these: Acalypha virginica (Virginia copperleaf), Albizia julibrissin (mimosa), Alcea rosea (hollyhock), Ambrosia artemisiifolia (annual ragweed), Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed), Vernonia noveboracensis (New York ironweed), Buddleia davidii (buttery bush), Campanula rapunculoides (creeping bellower), Campsis radicans (trumpet vine), Centaurea stoebe (spotted knapweed), Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle), Clethra alnifolia (summersweet), Daucus carota (Queen Anne's lace), Echinacea purpurea (purple coneower), Eutrochium purpureum (Joe-pye-weed), Hemerocallis (daylily), Hibiscus syriacus (rose of Sharon), Hosta spp. (plantain lily), Hydrangea macrophylla (bigleaf hydrangea), H. paniculata (panicled hydrangea), Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort), Impatiens capensis (jewel weed), Iliamna rivularis (streambank wild hollyhock), Liatris spicata (blazing star), Lilium lancifolium (tiger lily), L. orientalis (Oriental lily), L. superbum (Turk's cap lily), Linaria vulgaris (toadax), Lotus corniculatus (bird’s-foot trefoil), Lysimachia clethroides (gooseneck loosestrife), Monarda spp. (beebalm), Nuphar lutea (spadderdock, yellow water lily), Nymphaea odorata (American white water lily), Oenothera biennis (evening primrose), Oxydendrum arboreum (sourwood), Phlox paniculata (garden phlox), Hieracium pilosella (yellow hawkweed), Pontederia cordata (pickerel weed), Rosa 'Knockout', Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed-Susan), Salvia yangii (Russian sage), Sedum 'Autumn Joy', Solidago spp. (goldenrod), Spiraea alba (meadowsweet), Tanacetum vulgare (Tansy), and Vitex agnus-castus (chaste tree). Pests/Problems: Crabgrass now has several tillers. The following invasive plants are in ower: Lythrum salicaria (purple loosestrife), Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica, syn. Fallopia japonica, Polygonum cuspidatum), Phragmites australis (common reed), Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort), Cyperus esculentus (yellow nutsedge), Calystegia sepium (hedge bindweed), and Erigeron canadensis (horseweed). North Shore (Beverly) General Conditions: This two-week period was mild with scattered rain showers on some days. Approximately 1.16 inches of rain were recorded at Long Hill during this period. Air temperature ranged from low 50s to mid 80s. The average daily temperature was 69℉. The average daily maximum temperature was 78°F and the daily minimum temperature was 61℉. The maximum temperature of 88℉ was recorded on July 26 and the minimum temperature of 56℉ was recorded on August 2. Woody plants seen in bloom include: bottlebrush buckeye (Aesculus parviora), the bee-bee tree or Korean evodia (Tetradium daniellii), sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum),

  • Purple Loosestrife Lythrum Salicaria L
    Weed of the Week Purple Loosestrife Lythrum salicaria L. Native Origin: Eurasia- Great Britain, central and southern Europe, central Russia, Japan, Manchuria China, Southeast Asia, and northern India Description: Purple loosestrife is an erect perennial herb in the loosestrife family (Lythraceae), growing to a height of 3-10 feet. Mature plants can have 1 to 50 4-sided stems that are green to purple and often branching making the plant bushy and woody in appearance. Opposite or whorled leaves are lance-shaped, stalk-less, and heart-shaped or rounded at the base. Plants are usually covered by a downy pubescence. Flowers are magenta-colored with five to seven petals and bloom from June to September. Seeds are borne in capsules that burst at maturity in late July or August. Single stems can produce an estimated two to three million seeds per year from a single rootstock. The root system consists of a large, woody taproot with fibrous rhizomes. Rhizomes spread rapidly to form dense mats that aid in plant production. Habitat: Purple loosestrife is capable of invading wetlands such as freshwater wet meadows, tidal and non-tidal marshes, river and stream banks, pond edges, reservoirs, and ditches. Distribution: This species is reported from states shaded on Plants Database map. It is reported invasive in CT, DC, DE, ID, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN, UT, VA, VT, WA, and WI. Ecological Impacts: It spreads through the vast number of seeds dispersed by wind and water, and vegetatively through underground stems at a rate of about one foot per year.
