In early July we launched our new website which we are very proud of and excited about sharing with you. We feel that it is very customer friendly and offers many improvements from the previous site. First, information relating to plant characteristics is much more abundant. Photo availability has greatly increased, with new ones being added daily. Search ability is also much improved. It is now much easier to find the specific item you are looking for due to an enhanced ability to search by distinct traits of the plant you are interested in. Finally, online plant availability is updated constantly to ensure better accuracy, and the on-line ordering process has been streamlined. A record 43 new plant varieties have been added to production this year, with additional varieties being evaluated on an ongoing basis. We look at new plants from multiple entities. Our experienced team selects only those plants that prove to be either superior to an existing variety or those that offer our customer desirable traits while still meeting our strict criteria in terms of hardiness, disease resistance, etc. You can view these new varieties on pages 8 & 9 of this catalog. Production of our new line of container grown native trees is also now in full swing. By growing these trees in a #10-gallon container, we feel that we can offer a line of substantial trees with a high quality root system for improved survivability. Most of these trees will be available in the summer of 2013. A list of new container tree varieties in production can be found on pages 8 of this catalog. Despite the pressures of a weak economy, we have once again expanded our B&B tree production this past spring, with plans to do so again in the spring of 2013 and beyond. By doing so, we feel we are positioning ourselves well for future demand. Our field staff has been doing an excellent job of maintaining our fields and the quality of our stock. Those customers who have visited the nursery this year invariably remark as to how well the nursery looks. We hope that you will find the opportunity to come to the nursery and see for yourself. You are welcome to tour our facilities at any time. We would be delighted to show you around!

Management of the Viburnum Leaf Beetle at the Morris Arboretum Abstract Pyrrhalta viburni (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), or the viburnum leaf beetle (VLB), is an invasive pest on viburnums in North America, where native species of the plant have little natural resistance. Resistance can be conferred by leaf texture, leaf chemistry, or a wound response that crushes VLB eggs. The beetle does not immediately kill host plants, but repeated defoliation is fatal after several years. Because viburnum is a common forest and landscape plant in the eastern United States, VLB is a serious concern. The Morris Arboretum has a large collection of viburnums, including many native and non-native species. While VLB had already been observed in passing, this project included a thorough baseline survey of VLB damage throughout the Arboretum. Data were collected for the number of twigs infested with VLB, the number of cavities on each twig, and whether a wound response had been produced.

  • Nannyberry (Viburnum Lentago)
    BWSR Featured Plant Name: Nannyberry (Viburnum lentago) Plant Family: Caprifoliaceae Statewide Wetland Indicator Status: Great Plains – FACU Nannyberry is a shrub that is both beautiful and Midwest – FAC versatile. This shade-tolerant, woody plant has flat N. Cent. N. East – FAC topped white flowers, fruit that is used by a wide variety of birds and wildlife, and vibrant fall color. Frequently used as a landscaping plant, it is successful as a tall barrier and wind break. Its ability to function as both a small tree and multi-stemmed shrub and ability to adapt to many environmental conditions makes it well suited to buffer planting and other soil stabilization projects. Flat-topped flower clusters and finely serrated leaves Identification This native shrub can be identified by its pointed buds, unique flowers, and fruit. Growing to around twelve feet tall in open habitats, the species commonly produces suckers and multiple stems. The newest branches are light green in color and glabrous and buds narrow to a point. With age, the branches become grey, scaly and rough. The egg-shaped leaves are simple and opposite with tips abruptly tapering to a sharp point. Leaf surfaces are shiny, dark green and hairless with reddish finely serrated margins. Fall color is a vibrant dark red. Numerous dense, flat-topped flower heads appear and bloom from May to June. Flowers are creamy white and bell to saucer-shaped. The flowers develop into elliptical berry-like drupes that turn a blue-black color from July to August. The Multi-stemmed growth form sweet and edible fruit is used by a variety of wildlife species but has a wet wool odor when decomposing, thus its alternate name – Sheepberry.

  • Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
    PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

  • 175 Section 6 Stone Fruits (Prunus Spp.)
    SECTION 6 STONE FRUITS (PRUNUS SPP.) 1. Introduction A. General Background The genus of Prunus sensu latu comprises more domesticated (also cultivated) species of temperate fruits than the other genera in the family of Rosaceae (Malus, Pyrus, Sorbus, Cydonia, Rubus, Fragaria). One of the obvious reasons for the abundant domestication might have been the coincidence between the location of the centre of variability of Prunus and the site of human evolution and/or of the first ancient high civilisations of human history. Improvement of fruit trees through traditional breeding methods is a long-term effort because of their lengthy generation time. Thus, new approaches are researched to attain the envisaged breeding goals in a reasonable time frame. Genetic transformation is potentially useful, because specific genetic changes can be made. In the last few years successful examples of resistance breeding against viruses from different plant virus families have been reported, using the coat protein-mediated cross protection approach (Beachy et al., 1990). However, only very few fruit trees have been among these experiments due to the difficulties in transformation protocols. “Cross protection” was originally described as the phenomenon of protection of a plant against the invasion of a severe disease-causing virus due to prior inoculation of the plant with an attenuated virus strain (McKinney, 1929). Hamilton postulated in 1980 that the expression of sequences from the viral genome, if expressed in transgenic plants, could possibly cause a protection against viruses. In fact by the expression of the viral coat protein gene in transgenic plants, similar effects could be obtained, and it was therefore distinguished as coat protein mediated protection (Beachy et al., 1990).
