  • Department of Planning and Zoning
    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

  • 'Ivory Silk' Japanese Tree Lilac
    Fact Sheet ST-611 October 1994 Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Although a Lilac, this member of the species is quite different in appearance than those with which gardeners are more familiar (Fig. 1). Its upright habit varies from symmetrical to irregular but is more consistent than the species. Cultivars including ‘Ivory Silk’ and ‘Summer Snow’ could be used instead of the species due to the more consistent habit and more flowers. ‘Ivory Silk’ grows well only in USDA hardiness zones 3 through six (perhaps into 7) and has an oval or pyramidal form when young but spreads to a rounded shape as it grows older. This is a very large shrub or small tree, reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet with a 15-foot-spread. The huge clusters of creamy white flowers, borne in early summer for about two weeks, are the main ornamental feature but lack the fragrance of the spring-blooming Lilacs -- this Lilac’s fragrance is more suggestive of Privet. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ Pronunciation: sih-RING-guh reh-tick-yoo-LAY-tuh Common name(s): ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac Family: Oleaceae Figure 1. Mature ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac. USDA hardiness zones: 3A through 7A (Fig. 2) Origin: not native to North America sidewalk cutout (tree pit); residential street tree; tree Uses: container or above-ground planter; large has been successfully grown in urban areas where air parking lot islands (> 200 square feet in size); wide pollution, poor drainage, compacted soil, and/or tree lawns (>6 feet wide); medium-sized tree lawns drought are common (4-6 feet wide); recommended for buffer strips around Availability: somewhat available, may have to go out parking lots or for median strip plantings in the of the region to find the tree highway; near a deck or patio; screen; trainable as a standard; narrow tree lawns (3-4 feet wide); specimen; 1.

  • What Is a Tree in the Mediterranean Basin Hotspot? a Critical Analysis
    Médail et al. Forest Ecosystems (2019) 6:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-019-0170-6 RESEARCH Open Access What is a tree in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot? A critical analysis Frédéric Médail1* , Anne-Christine Monnet1, Daniel Pavon1, Toni Nikolic2, Panayotis Dimopoulos3, Gianluigi Bacchetta4, Juan Arroyo5, Zoltán Barina6, Marwan Cheikh Albassatneh7, Gianniantonio Domina8, Bruno Fady9, Vlado Matevski10, Stephen Mifsud11 and Agathe Leriche1 Abstract Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests covered 82% of the landscape before the first human impacts, thousands of years ago. However, the spatial distribution of the Mediterranean biodiversity is still imperfectly known, and a focus on tree species constitutes a key issue for understanding forest functioning and develop conservation strategies. Methods: We provide the first comprehensive checklist of all native tree taxa (species and subspecies) present in the Mediterranean-European region (from Portugal to Cyprus). We identified some cases of woody species difficult to categorize as trees that we further called “cryptic trees”. We collected the occurrences of tree taxa by “administrative regions”, i.e. country or large island, and by biogeographical provinces. We studied the species-area relationship, and evaluated the conservation issues for threatened taxa following IUCN criteria. Results: We identified 245 tree taxa that included 210 species and 35 subspecies, belonging to 33 families and 64 genera. It included 46 endemic tree taxa (30 species and 16 subspecies), mainly distributed within a single biogeographical unit.

Received: 9 September 2020; Accepted: 23 October 2020; Published: 26 October 2020 Abstract: In recent decades, the use of plants as a natural remedy has been widely applied in traditional medicine and the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. However, in order to confirm the potential benefits of anticancer drug development from natural sources, in-depth screening assessments are necessary. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of eight medicinal plants against breast carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Remarkably, among all the tested plant extracts, Pyracantha angustifolia and Paullinia cupana extracts showed maximum inhibition in the two cancer cell line models, as detected by cell viability assays, but not in normal mammary epithelial cells. Moreover, induction of cell cycle arrest was seen in both cancer cell models after treatment with extracts derived from the fruits of P.

  • Cherry Little Cherry 'Virus'
    Prepared by CABI and EPPO for the EU under Contract 90/399003 Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests Cherry little cherry 'virus' IDENTITY Name: Cherry little cherry 'virus' Synonyms: K & S disease, K & S little cherry Taxonomic position: Uncertain Common names: Little cherry (English) Petite cerise (French) Kleinfrüchtigkeit der Kirsche (German) Cereza pequeña (Spanish) Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature: The pathogen is graft-transmissible and infected plants contain flexuous filamentous virus-like particles (Ragetti et al., 1982) and pathogen- specific ds-RNA (Hamilton et al., 1980). A virus-like pathogen thus probably causes little cherry disease (Eastwell et al., 1996). EPPO computer code: CRLCXX EU Annex designation: II/A1 - for non-European isolates HOSTS Sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is the most sensitive host of the disease which causes fruit symptoms also in sour cherry (P. cerasus) and in P. pensylvanica. The ornamental cherries P. incisa, P. serrulata, P. sieboldii, P. subhirtella and P. yedoensis are often latently infected, especially the cultivars of the oriental flowering cherry P. serrulata including the cvs Kanzan and Shirofugen. P. emarginata, P. mahaleb and P. tomentosa were demonstrated as further tolerant hosts of the pathogen, while apricots, plums, peaches and P. virginiana could not be infected in experiments to transmit the pathogen of little cherry disease by bud-inoculation (Welsh & Cheney, 1976). With the exception of the American wild cherry species P. emarginata and P. pensylvanica, all host plants are cultivated in Europe as fruit trees or ornamental plants; sweet cherry and P. mahaleb are also endemic wild species. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION The disease, which originated in Japan, is probably now distributed world-wide in latently infected ornamental cherries.
