View Our Brochure MORRIS ARBORETUM what it is to be TIMELESS. LONGSTANDING. FISCALLY SOUND. These are the aims of Morris Arboretum’s Ever Green campaign: to sustain and grow the Arboretum as a premier public garden and as a center for botanical and horticultural research in Greater Philadelphia and beyond. Since first opening to the public in 1933, the Arboretum has made careful stewardship of its resources a priority in order to realize its vision to be a thriving public garden, educational resource, and cultural center as well as a leader in plant collec- tion, research, and promotion of environmental stewardship. Your gift–whether a modest amount or a major commitment– will help Morris Arboretum achieve its mission to promote understanding, conservation, and enjoyment of plants now and for years to come. MORRIS ARBORETUM IS A SOURCE OF RESEARCH AND RENEWAL THAT BENEFITS OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR WORLD. CHAPTER This particular katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) I is one of the Arboretum’s most noteworthy trees and a Pennsylvania champion for this species. Planted by John Morris between 1901 and 1909, this is perhaps the largest specimen in CULTIVATING North America. In fact, Morris Arboretum is a living collection steward to a large number of the Commonwealth’s champion trees, the largest of their species. Native to eastern Asia, the katsura is well adapted to North America. Fossil GAZE UP AT THE AWE-INSPIRING KATSURA, evidence suggests it was and marvel that this magnificent tree–a signature tree of once indigenous to this the Arboretum–was planted here with purpose, for the region as well. The tree is known for its stunning fall enjoyment of generations past, present, and future. color and for the sweet scent its fallen leaves emit. The katsura is one of thousands of plants in the notable living collection, a vibrant museum of plants that is carefully researched, curated, managed, and sustained. The Arboretum continues to acquire and exchange seeds and plants to both preserve and expand its collection. Further, staff maintains a comprehensive online catalogue with records of the Arboretum plants, cuttings, and seedlots. Your gifts enable the Arboretum to enhance its living collection INSPIRE by protecting trees and plants, preserving history, and pursuing STEWARDSHIP new specimens for further study. 2 | EVER GREEN | CULTIVATING A LIVING COLLECTION | 3 Founder John Morris began collecting plants that today form the basis of the Morris Arboretum’s living collection. Over the years, the Arboretum has participated in collab- orative plant collection efforts in Asia and the U.S. to increase the diversity of plants available in urban environments. Today the collection includes plants from more than 34 countries. MORRIS ARBORETUM REMAINS A LEADER in the effort to preserve a living collection that can educate, inspire, and be sustained in an urban environment. 4 | EVER GREEN | CULTIVATING A LIVING COLLECTION | 5 CHAPTER II ENGAGING curious minds LOOK THROUGH THE TREETOPS FROM OUT ON A LIMB Opportunities to get close and watch birds fly from tree to tree.

See mamdigitization.org for more information on this innovative and exciting project funded by the National Science Foundation. 10 | EVER GREEN | SHARING KNOWLEDGE | 11 The Arboretum encourages its patrons to appreciate the details as much as its broad vistas. Indeed, research is very much about observing, studying, and appreciating small details that indicate a larger story. The Arboretum’s nearly 13,000 accessioned plants serve as a living laboratory. These plants provide the basis for research projects that range in scale from whole plant evaluation and propagation to evolutionary and molecular analysis. The dogwood (Cornus) collection demonstrates the horticultural and scientific value of the living collections. Extensive holdings of Cornus kousa (kousa dogwood) from across its native range have allowed the Arboretum to study differences in cold-hardiness. Likewise, having a large number of dogwood species has contributed to greater understanding of genetic diversity within this plant group. ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONALLY, the Arboretum is a leader of botanical and horticultural research, sharing scientific understanding of plants and encouraging green infrastructure in the wake of increased urbanization. 12 | EVER GREEN | SHARING KNOWLEDGE | 13 CHAPTER IV x CONSERVING a legacy WANDER BY THE GROVE OF DAWN REDWOODS (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) along the East Brook in the Sculpture Garden. These tall sentinels keep watch over the in- spiring green landscapes and gardens, but more important, they are living tributes that remind people of the enduring ties to those who came before, and of the great responsibility to preserve these natural gifts as time and environments change. These deciduous conifers–fast-growing living fossils that PROTECT NATURAL Demonstrate your support for Morris Arboretum stand more than 100 feet tall with trunks nearing 13 feet and enable the ongoing preservation and in circumference–are awesome reminders of the stunning RESOURCES conservation of plants. beauty and power of nature. The Arboretum serves an important role in the conservation and preservation of plant species both within and beyond its gates. The Arboretum devotes considerable resources to study- ing the effects of climate change and environmental impacts on plant species, developing and cultivating plants that can withstand changing weather patterns and urban stress factors. 14 | EVER GREEN | CONSERVING A LEGACY | 15 Morris Arboretum participates with other organizations in efforts to understand how best to encourage the longevity of natural resources in light of urbanization and changing environmental factors. An outstanding example of the Arboretum’s leadership in this regard is the Acer griseum Conservation Project now under way. The paperbark maple, known for its peeling cinnamon-hued bark, is native to China where it is threatened. Introduced in the West more than a century ago, the plant produces few fertile seeds and is difficult to propagate by cuttings. Through the North America-China Plant Exploration Consortium, a team of scientists from Morris and other arboreta have traveled to provinces throughout China to collect valuable seed samples and study the DNA of the Acer griseum. The aim is to understand both

    SSummer 2015E ASONVolume 44S Number 2 A Note from the Executive Director PAUL W. MEYER, The F. Otto Haas Executive Director Flora of Pennsylvania: Taking Plant Science Research to the Next Level otanical and horticultural research were central to the vision of John and Lydia Morris as they planned the future of the institution we now know as the Morris Arboretum of the University Bof Pennsylvania. And, since 1933, Arboretum staff and students have focused on developing information and expertise on the native and naturalized plants of Pennsylvania. This work has resulted in a series of definitive publications including two editions of Plants of Pennsylvania, Trees of Photo: Nick Kelsh Pennsylvania, and most recently, Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania. In 1980, the Arboretum assumed leadership in developing an electronic database for the Pennsylvania flora, and since then it has continued to build and expand the wealth of information included. Today, this database covers more than 3,000 taxa of plants and includes more than 400,000 records of plant occurrences, each based on a physical herbarium specimen. Information derived from the database informs teachers, students, landscape professionals, and natural lands managers, as well as amateur plant enthusiasts. Each year the database is augmented with new information resulting from extensive field work conducted throughout the Commonwealth. As an outcome of strategic planning, this work will continue, and the Morris Arboretum will build its expertise on Pennsylvania plants and develop recommendations for their protection and conservation. However, while science has moved forward, we currently do not have the laboratory equipment and supplies needed to conduct the tests and experiments which will answer critical questions related to understanding Pennsylvania plants, especially those which are rare, threatened or endangered.

  • Compost Tea at the Morris Arboretum
    Green Fund Final Report Compost Tea at The Morris Arboretum Green Fund Grant Fall 2011 Completed Spring 2011 Amount $12,015 Project Overview The Morris Arboretum of The University of Pennsylvania implemented a project to determine the efficacy of compost tea as a fertilizer and alternative to pesticides in the one-acre Rose Garden. Organic matter such as grass clippings, leaves, weeds, saw dust, wood chips, and herbaceous materials from the Arboretum are used as the building blocks of the compost tea system. By using compost tea as part of an Integrated Pest Management Program, the Arboretum has been able to eliminate the use of synthetic chemicals in the Rose Garden, as well as increase beneficial insect populations and soil organisms. Since the implementation of this project, the Rose Garden has seen an improvement in the overall health of the garden, as well as increased interest from visitors and other public gardens about the chemical free approach. Various audiences benefit directly from the implementation of this project. For example, educational opportunities on the organic method of landscape management are available for visitors, students, staff, faculty, municipalities, and interested organizations. Additionally, visitors can learn about composting their own green waste and the benefits that it can have in home gardens. This project also draws connections to the recently completed Platinum level LEED-certified Horticulture Center sustainability mission, positioning the Arboretum and the University as a leader in sustainability. Morris Arboretum’s website –Here Lessons Learned The compost tea system is not without complications as the process develops and improves. However, the Arboretum continues to gain support from professionals locally and nationally as word spreads about the non-chemical approach.
