Trees This Is NOT a MAIL ORDER CATALOG As the Majority of Plants Are Too Large to Ship Broken Arrow Nursery • 2021 Retail Catalog Trees This is NOT A MAIL ORDER CATALOG as the majority of plants are too large to ship. We do not print a mail order catalog, but do have an extensive mail order listing. To access our mail order selections, visit our website to view the Available Online (Mail Order) plants. We open for the 2021 season on April 5th (10:00 am to 5:00 pm 7 days a week). Please call us at 203-288-1026 or email at [email protected] for all pre-season inquiries. Reserving Material: Reserved plant material must be paid for in full and can be held at the nursery free of charge for up to 2 weeks beyond the purchase date. Material held for longer than 2 weeks will be assessed a 10% holding and handling fee for each additional week the plants are held for a maximum of 6 weeks. No material will be held for any reason for greater than 8 weeks. (July) Crops: You may notice many plant sizes and prices have (July) notations listed. This particular plant size or crop is a proposed crop with an estimated availability date and not guaranteed to be available as listed. If the plant you desire is listed with (July), please inquire with a sales associate for details regarding its expected timetable and availability. Native Plants: Everyone has an opinion as to what should be considered native. Traditionally we have nar- rowed the range of plants designated as “native” to those found in the Northeast (New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey). For this year’s catalog, we have included native ranges for all species listed in an effort to educate and appeal to a broader set of “native/non native” perspectives. Garden Hybrids rep- resent hybrid plants that combine multiple species in the parentage. Guarantee: We guarantee that all plants sold by Broken Arrow Nursery are healthy and true to name when they leave the nursery. If such is not the case, we will replace the plant in question or issue a nursery credit for the purchase price of the plant. We are not responsible for losses caused by: • Neglect to appropriately water, feed, prepare the soil, or site your plant, including overwintering in containers. • Death or damage from hungry critters. • Extreme and unusual weather conditions or inappropriate climate zone. We have an excellent reputation and have every intention of maintaining it. Container Sizing: In addition to growing the majority of our own plant material at Broken Arrow, we also acquire plants from a network of friends and nurseries throughout the country. In order to make sense of the variety of container sizes we receive, as well as those in which we grow our own plants, we have adopted a container volume system dictated in the “American Standard for Nursery Stock” by the AmericanHort® to list the majority of our plants and their containers. We feel this will add clarity to the industry’s sometimes confusing, inconsistent sizing standards. #1 = 0.63 - 1.08 gallons (80.64 – 138.24 fl oz) #2 = 1.38 - 2.05 gallons (176.24 – 262.40 fl oz) #3 = 2.38 - 3.21 gallons (304.64 – 410.88 fl oz) #5 = 3.39 - 5.00 gallons (433.92 – 640.00 fl oz) #6 = 5.02 - 6.00 gallons (642.56 – 768.00 fl oz) #7 = 5.78 - 7.74 gallons (739.84 – 990.72 fl oz) #10 = 8.91 - 11.45 gallons (1140.48 – 1465.60 fl oz) Broken Arrow Nursery • 2021 Retail Catalog Acer buergerianum Trident Maple - Zone 5 - Full Sun-Part Shade - China, Korea A slow growing, small to medium deciduous tree native to China.

  • Elms Grown in America
    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME I DECEMBER I 9, 19411 NUMBER IS ELMS GROVG’N IN AMERICA years ago, Professor Charles S. Sargent, Director T~’ENTY-FIVEof the Arnold Arburetum w rote the following statement concerning the European Elms-unfortunately just as true today as it was then - "There is probably more confusion in the identification and proper naming of these trees (the European elms) in American parl.s and gar- dens than of any other group of trees, and it is only in very recent ~ ears that English botanists have been able to reach what appear to be sound conclusions in regard to them. The confusion started with Lin- naeus, who believed that all European elms belonged to one species, and it has been increased by the appearance of natural hybrids of at least two of the species and by the tendency of seedlings to show much variation from the original types." Today, with six elm species native in the United State, five species native of Europe (including many varieties), and se‘ eral more species native of Asia, the picture becomes even more confused. The elm is, and always has been, a standard shade tree, for even though it is threatened in certain sections by the Dutch elm disease, the gardening public will still plant elms. Approximately fifty elms will be mentioned in this bulletin. About thirty of them have been listed as available in - the nurseries of this country during the past two years : all but five of them are growing in the Arnold Arboretum at Boston.

  • Ulmus 'Patriot'
    Ulmus ‘Patriot’ The U.S. National Arboretum presents Ulmus ‘Patriot’, a hybrid elm for planting sites demanding a big, tough tree. ‘Patriot’ was bred and selected for pest and disease tolerance and a wide, vase-shaped crown. Fast-growing and highly tolerant to Dutch elm disease, it is easily established in the nursery or landscape. Select ‘Patriot’ for those park, lawn or highway sites requiring a tree of exceptional vigor. U.S. National Arboretum Plant Introduction Floral and Nursery Plants Research Unit U.S. National Arboretum, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 3501 New York Ave. NE., Washington, DC 20002 ‘Patriot’ hybrid elm Botanical name: Ulmus ‘Patriot’ (U. ‘Urban’ × U. davidiana var. japonica ‘Prospector’) (NA 60071; PI 566597) Family: Ulmaceae Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9 Development: ‘Patriot’ resulted from a controlled pollination made in 1980 by A. M. Townsend between Ulmus 'Urban' (a complex hybrid involving U. pumila, U. ×hollandica, and U. minor) and a selection of the Asian elm U. davidiana var. japonica that was later released as ‘Prospector’. ‘Patriot’ was selected initially for its tolerance to Dutch elm disease in field inoculation studies in Delaware, Ohio, and Glenn Dale, Maryland. In further field and laboratory evaluations, ‘Patriot’ showed the highest level of elm leaf beetle tolerance of more than 600 hybrids resulting from the 1980 cross. Released 1993. Significance: ‘Patriot’ is a hybrid elm with a moderately vase-shaped crown, showing high levels of tolerance to two of the major disease and insect pests of landscape elms. It has also shown field tolerance to natural infections of elm yellows.

  • Entomological Notes: Elm Leaf Beetle
    College of Agricultural Sciences Cooperative Extension Entomological Notes Department of Entomology ELM LEAF BEETLE Xanthogaleruca luteola (Muller) The elm leaf beetle is an introduced pest that feeds only on species of elm, Ulmus spp. Although all elm species are subject to attack, this species usually prefers Chinese elm, Ulmus parvifolia. Trees growing in landscapes are more heavily infested than those found in forests. DESCRIPTION Eggs are orange-yellow and spindleshaped. Larvae are small, black, and grublike. At maturity larvae are approximately 13 mm long, dull yellow, and with what appears to be two black stripes down the back. Adults are about 6 mm long, yellowish to olive green with a Figure 1.

    Research Article Volume 8:1, 2020 Journal of Biodiversity and Endangered DOI: 10.24105/2332-2543.2020.8.238 Species ISSN: 2332-2543 Open Access Biology of Elm Leaf Beetles Xanthogaleruca luteola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Kurdistan Region-Iraq Rebwar A. Mustafa* Research Centre, Polytechnic University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region, Iraq Abstract Recently, Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) has been recorded as new species in the Kurdistan region-Iraq, which is one of the most important pests on Elm and feeds on the leaves in either larval or adult stages. The biological study of the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) regarding lifecycle and behavior, was conducted in Halabja city, Kurdistan Region-Iraq. Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola adults were collected from the Elm host trees Ulmus glabra (Ulmaceae) in Halabja city in 2015 and 2016. The life cycle of Elm leaf Beetle was studied under laboratory condition (25℃ and 60 RH), the means of the incubation period, developmental time of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd larval instars were 2.11 ± 0.02, 4.21 ± 0.09, and 6.01 ± 0.0 1 days, respectively. The mean of a pupal period in the soil and under flurried leaves was 11.00 ± 0.03 days. Means of pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods were 10.42 ± 1.2, 7.78 ± 0.4 and 2.4 ± 0.2 days, respectively. The female and male longevity in rearing was 20.6 ± 0.3 and 21.04 ± 1.2 days, respectively. The mean number of eggs per adult was 78.79 ± 5.3.

  • Classic Lacebark Elm
    Athena ‘Emer I’ Classic Lacebark Elm Lineage Ulmus parvifolia (Chinese elm, Lacebark elm, Drake elm). Also known as ‘Emerald Isle’. PP7551 Introduced in 1989 (Dave’s Garden, 2011). Tree Form A medium-sized tree with a broad rounded canopy, often with a trunk that forks resulting in a vase shape similar to that of the American elm (Floridata, updated 11/18/2010). Tree size, leaf size and growth rate half of that of the American elm, and they are often planted as a single tree (Warren, 2000). Height: 30 to 40 feet Width: 35 to 45, up to 60 foot wide crown spread (Delmar Learning, undated; UConn, undated)) Foliage Dark green in summer, leathery, almost black; bronze to bronze-brown in fall (Cornell, undated). Leaves simple, 1 to 2 inches long, but half as wide. Ovate, margins rounded to serrate (Delmar Learning, undated). Late deciduous, almost evergreen in mild climates (Floridata, 2010). Culture NA Disease and Insect Information Literature (Dutch elm disease studies, insect resistance assessments, etc.): Resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (DED), phloem necrosis and Elm Leaf Beetles (Delmar Learning, undated). It resists DED and shows very good performance under dry conditions (UConn, undated). Completely immune to Gypsy Moth, and only 10% of the leaf tissue was consumed by Japanese Beetle, the lowest of all the asian elms tested in a no-choice study (Paluch et al., 2006). When the Japanese Beetles were given a choice of species they did not feed on the U. parvifolia at all (Paluch et al., 2006). In an earlier similar study, U. parvifolia was the most resistant of all cultivars and hybrids to the Japanese Beetle (Miller et al., 1999).

Eggs are small, spindle shaped, and yellowish- orange. Signs of Attack: Skeletonized or shriveled brownish leaves are usually the first indication of an attack by this beetle. Examination of the leaves may reveal beetles, larvae or eggs. Life Cycle: Adult beetles overwinter in protected places near the host tree, especially around buildings. In spring, they fly to the trees and begin feeding on new leaves. Mating and egg lay- ing takes place shortly and each female lays up to 25 yellow eggs in a mass on the underside of a leaf.

  • Metro Pictures
    METRO PICTURES Sutphin, Eric. “Review: Sputterances,” Frieze.com (April 22, 2017). Detail of Charles Burchfield, Summer, 1926 As its title suggests, ‘Sputterances’ has much to do with language – specifically the degrees to which an artist succeeds or fails at communicating an idea and the ways in which the content of paintings can be ‘read’. The exhibition includes the work of 21 visual artists and a poem contributed by Ben Lerner, which is printed on card with an illustration and available to takeaway. It is organized by Sanya Kantarovsky, who was adroit in his selections, making visual and affective connections only discernible to a painter invested in the craft and history of the medium. Kantarovsky has borrowed the show’s title from Dutch painter René Daniëls, who defines ‘sputterance’ as the ‘sum of two opposing actions—a sputter and an utterance.’ Though not exclusively devoted to figuration, the exhibition is packed with images of human and creaturely bodies. The show opens with a large painting by Daniëls, Het verloen huis teruggevonden (The lost house found) (1982-83), painted in myriad shades of chartreuse, acidic green and ultramarine; an oversized eye hovers toward the left edge of the canvas, like a stretched reflection in a glass. To the right is a swiftly rendered hand holding what could be candles or firecrackers. According to William S. Smith, Daniëls ‘was a master at balancing complexity and ambition with affected naiveté.’ René Daniëls, Het verloren huis teruggevonden (The lost house found), 1982-1983 519 WEST 24TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10011 T 212 206 7100 WWW.METROPICTURES.COM [email protected] Denzil Forrester, From Trench Town to Porthtowan, 2016 ‘Sputterances’, as Daniëls defined them, are evident less in individual works than in the way one reads the exhibition as a whole – in fits and starts.
