Л. Кульбіцький, М. Ю. Осіпов Уманський національний університет садівництва, м. Умань, Україна СИСТЕМАТИКА ТА ФІЛОГЕНЕТИЧНІ ЗВ'ЯЗКИ РОДУ ULMUS L. За літературними джерелами досліджено філогенетичні зв'язки роду Ulmus L. Встановлено за даними бази GRIN, що у світі всього нараховується понад 30 видів роду Ulmus, поширених переважно в помірній зоні північної півкулі. З них 10 трапляються на території України, в помірній зоні європейської частини, на Північному Кавказі, в Забайкаллі та на Дале- кому Сході в широколистяних і хвойно-широколистяних лісах. По берегах річок на півночі зони зростання вклинюються у європейську темнохвойну тайгу, а на півдні – у Степову та Лісостепову зони. Як типові супутні породи мішаних лісів Євро- пи найпоширеніші такі представники роду Ulmus: U. laevis Pall., U. glabra HuDs., U. suberosa moench, U. elliptica K. Koch; в Азії – U. propinqua, U. laciniata (Trautv.) mayr та U. pumila L; у Північній Америці – U. americana L. На території України поширені сім аборигенних видів U. androssowii Litv., U. minor mill., U. glabra HuDs., U. laciniata (Trautv.) mayr, U. laevis Pall., U. macrocarpa Hance, U. pumila L. та три інтродукованих види: U. japonica (RehD.) Sarg., U. americana L. та U. densa Litw. З'ясовано, що номенклатура видів роду Ulmus складна і заплутана. Складність полягає не тільки в народних, але й у латинських назвах. Так, у літературних джерелах виявлено безліч синонімів латинських назв. Причиною, яка ускладнює таксономію в'язів, є поширення процесів природної гібридизації в межах роду Ulmus.

It has been updated as of April 2019. It is intended to provide a list of plants and trees that are not allowed within a new required defensible space (DS) or fuel modification zone (FMZ). It is highly recommended that these plants and trees be thinned and or removed from existing DS and FMZs. In certain instances, the Fire Department may require the thinning and or removal. This list was prepared by Hunt Research Corporation and Dudek & Associates, and reviewed by Scott Franklin Consulting Co, VCFD has added some plants and has removed plants only listed due to freezing hazard.

    Morphology and Morphogenesis of the Seed Cones of the Cupressaceae - Part II Cupressoideae

    1 2 Bull. CCP 4 (2): 51-78. (10.2015) A. Jagel & V.M. Dörken Morphology and morphogenesis of the seed cones of the Cupressaceae - part II Cupressoideae Summary The cone morphology of the Cupressoideae genera Calocedrus, Thuja, Thujopsis, Chamaecyparis, Fokienia, Platycladus, Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Cupressus and Juniperus are presented in young stages, at pollination time as well as at maturity. Typical cone diagrams were drawn for each genus. In contrast to the taxodiaceous Cupressaceae, in Cupressoideae outgrowths of the seed-scale do not exist; the seed scale is completely reduced to the ovules, inserted in the axil of the cone scale. The cone scale represents the bract scale and is not a bract- /seed scale complex as is often postulated. Especially within the strongly derived groups of the Cupressoideae an increased number of ovules and the appearance of more than one row of ovules occurs. The ovules in a row develop centripetally. Each row represents one of ascending accessory shoots. Within a cone the ovules develop from proximal to distal. Within the Cupressoideae a distinct tendency can be observed shifting the fertile zone in distal parts of the cone by reducing sterile elements. In some of the most derived taxa the ovules are no longer (only) inserted axillary, but (additionally) terminal at the end of the cone axis or they alternate to the terminal cone scales (Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Juniperus). Such non-axillary ovules could be regarded as derived from axillary ones (Microbiota) or they develop directly from the apical meristem and represent elements of a terminal short-shoot (Tetraclinis, Juniperus).

    Residential Architectural Review Committee Recommended Plant List Plant Materials The following plant materials are intended to guide tree and shrub ADDITIONS to residential landscapes at Issaquah Highlands. Lot sizes, shade, wind and other factors place size and growth constraints on plants, especially trees, which are suitable for addition to existing landscapes. Other plant materials may be considered that have these characteristics and similar maintenance requirements. Additional species and varieties may be selected if authorized by the Issaquah Highlands Architectural Review Committee. This list is not exhaustive but does cover most of the “good doers” for Issaquah Highlands. Our microclimate is colder and harsher than those closer to Puget Sound. Plants not listed should be used with caution if their performance has not been observed at Issaquah Highlands. * Drought-tolerant plant ** Requires well-drained soil DECIDUOUS TREES: Small • Acer circinatum – Vine Maple • Acer griseum – Paperbark Maple • *Acer ginnala – Amur Maple • Oxydendrum arboreum – Sourwood • Acer palmation – Japanese Maple • *Prunus cerasifera var. – Purple Leaf Plum varieties • Amelanchier var. – Serviceberry varieties • Styrax japonicus – Japanese Snowbell • Cornus species, esp. kousa Medium • Acer rufinerve – Redvein Maple • Cornus florida (flowering dogwood) • *Acer pseudoplatanus – Sycamore Maple • Acer palmatum (Japanese maple, many) • • *Carpinus betulus – European Hornbeam Stewartia species (several) • *Parrotia persica – Persian Parrotia Columnar Narrow

Boosted by a major planting in 2015, the collection now includes almost 50 trees. This tree walk identifi es trees planted as part of the Learning Landscape as well as other interesting specimens at the school. What is a Learning Landscape? A Learning Landscape is a collection of trees planted and cared for at a school by students, volunteers, and Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) Urban Forestry staff. Learning Landscapes offer an outdoor educational experience for students, as well as environmental and aesthetic benefi ts to the school and surrounding neighborhood.

The present is the first of a series of Hand-lists of the collections of living plants cultivated in the Royal Gardens which it is intended to issue from time to time. It is hoped that they will he found useful in indi- cating to visitors interested in particular groups of plants, the species which Kew already possesses. In the hands of correspondents they will serve to show in what directions the collections may be added to. It is further hoped that they may be found of some value in esta- blishing an approxiihate standard of nomenclature, which is often much confused in gardens and too frequently erroneous. This is particularly the case with woody plants (shrubs and trees) grown in the open air. The preparation of the present list has accordingly been first taken in it the work of and has hand ; represents many years, only been accomplished with considerable labour. A rough census of the species and distinct varieties of plants cultivated at Kew gives the total number as, approximately, 20,U0(>. Of these ;),0(X> are hardy shrubs or trees. The first catalogue of the plants cultivated at Kew was that of Sir John Hill, published in 1768 (second edition 1769).
  • Conifers for Shade

    Conifers for Shade

    Conifers for Shade While most conifers prefer sun, there are some that will tolerate and even thrive in some shade. All conifers prefer a well-drained, somewhat organic soil and consistent water when first planted. Most are reasonably drought tolerant once established. Calocedrus decurrens—INCENSE CEDAR. Dappled sun to light shade. Large symmetrical tree to 60+ feet. Hardy to -20°F. Reddish bark. Bright green foliage, fragrant (especially when bruised). Makes a good screen. Cephalotaxus species—PLUM YEW. Light to partial shade. Varieties can be low and spreading or upright and narrow. Hardy to -5°F. Foliage is yew-like but larger and brighter green. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana—PORT ORFORD CEDAR. Dappled sun to filtered shade. Many forms, most pyramidal and compact. Many true dwarf. Hardy to -10°F. Colors range from blue green to steel blue, with some variegated and golden forms. All need excellent drainage and make great container plants. Chamaecyparis obtusa—HINOKI CYPRESS. Dappled sun to filtered shade. Many varieties—from dwarf forms under 2 feet to taller varieties reaching 20+ feet. Hardy to -20°F. All Hinokis are slow to moderate growers with attractive architectural foliage and structure. Golden and variegated forms are especially suited to a shadier site. Chamaecyparis pisifera--SAWARA CYPRESS. Filtered sun to partial shade. Hardy to -20°F. All Slow to moderate growers. Golden and variegated varieties tend to get brown in hot sun. ‘Boulevard’ is a bright blue-green that gets 6-8 feet tall and wide. ‘Filifera’ and its varieties (“thread leaf cypress”) have soft, thread-like foliage that drapes elegantly.
