  • SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes
    North Carolina Cooperative Extension NC STATE UNIVERSITY SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes Pender County Cooperative Extension Urban Horticulture Leaflet 14 Coastal Challenges Plants growing at the beach are subjected to environmental conditions much different than those planted further inland. Factors such as blowing sand, poor soils, high temperatures, and excessive drainage all influence how well plants perform in coastal landscapes, though the most significant effect on growth is salt spray. Most plants will not tolerate salt accumulating on their foliage, making plant selection for beachfront land- scapes particularly challenging. Salt Spray Salt spray is created when waves break on the beach, throwing tiny droplets of salty water into the air. On-shore breezes blow this salt laden air landward where it comes in contact with plant foliage. The amount of salt spray plants receive varies depending on their proximity to the beachfront, creating different vegetation zones as one gets further away from the beachfront. The most salt-tolerant species surviving in the frontal dune area. As distance away from the ocean increases, the level of salt spray decreases, allowing plants with less salt tolerance to survive. Natural Protection The impact of salt spray on plants can be lessened by physically blocking salt laden winds. This occurs naturally in the maritime forest, where beachfront plants protect landward species by creating a layer of foliage that blocks salt spray. It is easy to see this effect on the ocean side of maritime forest plants, which are “sheared” by salt spray, causing them to grow at a slant away from the oceanfront.

Of the 281 species: • Nearly all have been recorded overseas as agricultural or environmental weeds (or both); • More than one tenth (11%) have been recorded as noxious weeds overseas; • At least one third (33%) are toxic and may harm or even kill livestock; • Almost all have been commercially available in Australia in the last 20 years; • Over two thirds (70%) were still available from Australian nurseries in 2004; • Over two thirds (72%) are not currently recognised as weeds under either State or Commonwealth legislation.

NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, TX 76109, USA www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT Euonymus fortunei is documented here for the first time to occur outside of cultivation in Texas. The population, which is perhaps a large clone spread from an original planting, is in Overton Park in the central part of Fort Worth. Flowers and fruits have not been observed. Color photos are included. KEY WORDS: Euonymus fortunei, Celastraceae, naturalized, Texas Euonymus fortunei (Turcz.) Hand.-Mazz. Winter creeper, climbing euonymus Texas. Tarrant Co.: Fort Worth, Overton Park near intersection of Owenwood Drive and Glenwood Drive, terrace bank on south side of Overton Creek, along 60 feet of embankment and covering ca. 600-800 square feet, apparently spread downslope from original plantings near a house ca. 50 feet above, in a thicket of Prunus caroliniana, Photinia serratifolia, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum quihoui, Nandina domestica, under Ulmus crassifolia and young Bumelia lanuginosa and Celtis laevigata, with Hedera helix, the euonymus also spreading out of the thicket into adjacent mowed areas, 18 May 2009, G.L. Nesom 2010-01 (BRIT, OKL, TEX, to be deposited). Euonymus fortunei is an evergreen, trailing or scandent subshrub native to southeastern Asia.
