POSEY* and JAMES F. GOGGANS Department of Forestry THERE HAS BEEN considerable interest in growing Cupressus (cypress) in the Southeast for several years. The Agricultural Experiment Station, Auburn University, was the first institution in the Southeast to initiate work on the cy- presses in 1937, and since that time many states have introduced Cupressus in hope of finding a species suitable for Christmas tree production. In most cases seed for trial plantings were obtained from commercial dealers without reference to seed source or form of parent tree. Many plantings yielded a high proportion of columnar-shaped trees not suitable for the Christmas tree market. It is probable that seed used in Alabama and other Southeastern States came from only a few trees of a given geo- graphic source.

Seiridium Canker of Cypress Trees in Arizona Jeff Schalau
ARIZONA COOPERATIVE E TENSION AZ1557 January 2012 Seiridium Canker of Cypress Trees in Arizona Jeff Schalau Introduction Leyland cypress (x Cupressocyparis leylandii) is a fast- growing evergreen that has been widely planted as a landscape specimen and along boundaries to create windbreaks or privacy screening in Arizona. The presence of Seiridium canker was confirmed in Prescott, Arizona in July 2011 and it is suspected that the disease occurs in other areas of the state. Seiridium canker was first identified in California’s San Joaquin Valley in 1928. Today, it can be found in Europe, Asia, New Zealand, Australia, South America and Africa on plants in the cypress family (Cupressaceae). Leyland cypress, Monterey cypress, (Cupressus macrocarpa) and Italian cypress (C. sempervirens) are highly susceptible and can be severely impacted by this disease. Since Leyland and Italian cypress have been widely planted in Arizona, it is imperative that Seiridium canker management strategies be applied and suitable resistant tree species be recommended for planting in the future. The Pathogen Seiridium canker is known to be caused by three different fungal species: Seiridium cardinale, S. cupressi and S. unicorne. S. cardinale is the most damaging of the three species and is SCHALAU found in California. S. unicorne and S. cupressi are found in the southeastern United States where the primary host is JEFF Leyland cypress. All three species produce asexual fruiting Figure 1. Leyland cypress tree with dead branch (upper left) and main leader bodies (acervuli) in cankers. The acervuli produce spores caused by Seiridium canker. (conidia) which spread by water, human activity (pruning and transport of infected plant material), and potentially insects, birds and animals to neighboring trees where new Symptoms and Signs infections can occur.

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).

Recommended Native and Adapted Plants for KB Home in Boerne
Recommended Native and Adapted Plants for Boerne Native Plant Society of Texas - Boerne Chapter www.npsot.org/boerne Using native and well-adapted plants to landscape will save time and money. Once established, natives require less water, fertilizer, pesticides, and maintenance than most non-natives. Before buying plants, identify the characteristics of your yard, such as how much morning and afternoon sun or shade you have, available moisture, and drainage. All these will impact plant survival and the plant selections you make. Choose plants that are suited to your site. Use a variety of heights in your design. For example, plant a canopy tree to provide shade. Plant understory (U) trees, shade-loving shrubs, and shade tolerant perennials under existing canopy trees. Not only will your landscape be more appealing, but you will have a better survival rate when you provide some shade for plants that need protection from the blistering Texas sun. Consider leaving any existing native vegetation undisturbed, as these areas will be very low-maintenance, and will help preserve the “Hill Country Heritage” that attracts many people to this area. You may enhance these native areas by adding favorite compatible selections for increased color or wildlife food to attract hummingbirds , butterflies , and songbirds to your yard. In general, avoid acid-living plants as the soil in central Texas is very alkaline. Also, avoid water-requiring plants as the average rainfall in the area is usually only around 30 inches per year. This list includes non-native plants which grow compatibly with drought-tolerant native plants. These are listed because of their hardiness in the Hill Country soil and climate and because of their availability in local nurseries.

Cupressus Pygmaea Is a Valid Species
Bull. CCP 1 (2): 27-33 J. Bisbee & D. Mаеrki Cupressus pygmaea (Lemmon) Sargent 1901 Cupressus pygmaea is a valid species In 1895 Lemmon described a new taxon from Mendocino County, and recognising its affinity with Cupressus goveniana Gordon (1849), but with enough differences to separate it from the later, he described it as a variety Cupressus goveniana var. pigmaea 1. Six years later, considering the tiny black seeds and that the isolation of the region which it inhabits remote from that occupied by other Species make it possible and convenient to separate this northern tree from the Cupressus Goveniana of central and southern California, Sargent (1901) raised this taxon to specific rank as Cupressus pygmaea 2. C.B.Wolf (1948) acknowledged this view and stressed the fact that it is necessary and possible to look for distinct characters not visible on dry herbarium material. E.Little (1953) chose to reduce several new world Cupressus species to synonymy. Cupressus pygmaea, Cupressus abramsiana Wolf and Cupressus sargentii Jepson were simply merged into Cupressus goveniana 3 and given as synonyms. In 1970, he revised his opinion of systematic synonymisation, but did not choose to return them back to species rank. He reduced the different Cupressus species to varietal rank, four as Cupressus arizonica Greene varieties, two as Cupressus goveniana varieties, one as a variety of Cupressus guadalupensis Watson, and finally admitting Cupressus sargentii as a valid species. Despite Wolf, and arguing about the fact that this author gave hint that these new combinations could be acceptable, he justified his choice almost exclusively by very broad morphological considerations.

The hard- wood list (IAWA Committee 1989) has been adopted throughout the world, not least because it provides a succinct, unambiguous illustrated glossary of hardwood charac- ters that can be used for a variety of purposes, not just identification. This publication is intended to do the same job for softwoods. Identifying softwoods relies on careful observation of a number of subtle characters, and great care has been taken to show high quality photomicrographs that remove most of the ambiguity that definitions alone would provide. Unlike the Hardwood Committee, the Softwood Committee never met in its full com- position.
