But if you’d like a Spirea that’s a little different, look for a dwarf pink spirea called ‘Anthony Waterer’. This deciduous, dwarf shrub has showy clusters of rosy pink blooms that are eye‐catching during summer, and foliage that turns reddish‐maroon during fall. It makes an attractive addition to a cottage garden, butterfly garden, or mixed border. Mature Size: 2‐3 feet tall; 3‐4 feet wide Growth Rate: Moderate Plant Habit: Upright Ornamental Characteristics & Uses: Foliage Color: Green Flower Color: Pink Bloom Time: Summer Attracts Wildlife: Butterflies Uses: Landscape accent; mixed border; mass planting; butterfly garden; cut flower Growing Requirements: Cold Hardiness Zone(s): 5 – 9 Exposure: Full Sun; Partial Shade Soil Tolerances: Prefers well‐drained soils Soil pH: Slightly acidic to slightly alkaline Maintenance: Easy/Low General Care & Growing Tips: These plants may require regular watering during establishment. Like most plants, they benefit from a 2‐ to 3‐inch layer of organic mulch to help retain soil moisture. Apply a slow‐release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. Prune to shape after flowering; for a formal appearance, shear annually after flowering. Common Pests: Leaf spots may appear during prolonged periods of wet weather but are not of major concern.

    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

The mpI ortance of Geographic and Biological Variables in Predicting the Naturalization of Non-Native Woody Plants in the Upper Midwest Abstract The es lection, introduction, and cultivation of non-native woody plants beyond their native ranges can have great benefits, but also unintended consequences. Among these consequences is the tendency for some species to naturalize and become invasive pests in new environments to which they were introduced. In lieu of lengthy and costly field trials, risk-assessment models can be used to predict the likelihood of naturalization.

  • Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal a Close Evolutionary Relationship Between Podosphaera (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) and Its Rosaceous Hosts
    Persoonia 24, 2010: 38–48 www.persoonia.org RESEARCH ARTICLE doi:10.3767/003158510X494596 Molecular phylogenetic analyses reveal a close evolutionary relationship between Podosphaera (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) and its rosaceous hosts S. Takamatsu1, S. Niinomi1, M. Harada1, M. Havrylenko 2 Key words Abstract Podosphaera is a genus of the powdery mildew fungi belonging to the tribe Cystotheceae of the Erysipha­ ceae. Among the host plants of Podosphaera, 86 % of hosts of the section Podosphaera and 57 % hosts of the 28S rDNA subsection Sphaerotheca belong to the Rosaceae. In order to reconstruct the phylogeny of Podosphaera and to evolution determine evolutionary relationships between Podosphaera and its host plants, we used 152 ITS sequences and ITS 69 28S rDNA sequences of Podosphaera for phylogenetic analyses. As a result, Podosphaera was divided into two molecular clock large clades: clade 1, consisting of the section Podosphaera on Prunus (P. tridactyla s.l.) and subsection Magnicel­ phylogeny lulatae; and clade 2, composed of the remaining member of section Podosphaera and subsection Sphaerotheca. powdery mildew fungi Because section Podosphaera takes a basal position in both clades, section Podosphaera may be ancestral in Rosaceae the genus Podosphaera, and the subsections Sphaerotheca and Magnicellulatae may have evolved from section Podosphaera independently. Podosphaera isolates from the respective subfamilies of Rosaceae each formed different groups in the trees, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship between Podosphaera spp. and their rosaceous hosts. However, tree topology comparison and molecular clock calibration did not support the possibility of co-speciation between Podosphaera and Rosaceae. Molecular phylogeny did not support species delimitation of P. aphanis, P.

  • Plant Material List
    Town of Garner Plant Material List Prepared by the Planning Department Last update: April 2008 PLANT MATERIAL Purpose and Intent Purpose The plant material list contained in this Manual provides a suggested selection of plants that will both enhance the native landscape of Garner and minimize water consumption. Intent To ensure that appropriate plants are selected for use in the Town of Garner. The tables offer species suggestions, with some provided performance characteristics. If offers a guide for the type of plant material the Town of Garner wishes to see used to satisfy the requirements of the landscape ordinance. Plants with more exacting growing condition or those with less certainty of success should be reserved for minor accent or specialty use. The suggested list emphasizes drought tolerant plants. Non-drought tolerant plants may be used if non-public water sources are used for irrigation, if the planting area is naturally wet, or the planting area is to be used for bioretention. The suggested plant list of this manual generally does not include named hybrids and variously named species subtypes such as subspecies, varieties and cultivars due to the requirement to list such a large number of names if all suitable plants were to be included. Even though hybrids and named species subtypes are note listed, the Town of Garner anticipates the use of such plants, and even encourages their use in situations where they are expected to perform significantly better than species types. However, it must be recognized that plant hybrids or named species subtypes may differ greatly in habit, size and other characteristics from that of the parent species or other genetically related hybrids or subtypes.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

Asian, European and North American collections were examined and the nucleotides sequences of their partial rDNA region were determined. In particular, the relationship between P. filipendulae and P. spiraeae was analysed. The results confirmed P. filipendulae and P. spiraeae as two sepa- rate, morphologically similar species. The phylogenetic analysis revealed a similar phylogeny to that of the host genera. Although ITS sequences retrieved from Asian, European and North American specimens of P. filipendulae on various Filipendula spp. are identical to sequences from P. macularis on hop, there is consistently one base substitution at the 5’-end of 28S rRNA gene between the species.
