Broadleaf Evergreens This Is NOT a MAIL ORDER CATALOG As the Majority of Plants Are Too Large to Ship Broken Arrow Nursery • 2021 Retail Catalog Broadleaf Evergreens 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 Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Bearberry - Zone 3 - Full Sun-Part Shade - Northern North America, Europe, and Asia Bearberry is a wonderful, low growing evergreen groundcover native throughout much of North America.

  • The Role of Chinese Plants in Hungarian Landscape Architecture
    The Role of Chinese Plants in Hungarian Landscape Architecture Laszlo Gerzson Corvinus University of Budapest, Department of Garden and Open Space Design [email protected] Abstract: Most outdoor plants in Hungarian horticulture are exotas mainly from Middle and East Asia and North America. The flora of China is diversified and has many species because the last glacial period did not reach China. The richness of the Chinese flora was known for Europeans by the missionaries and medics first in19th cectury. Later some bigger nurseries sent expeditions in China to collect new plants. Nowadays the Hungarian landscape architecture is impossible without Chinese plants. Keywords: China, Landscape architecture, Glacial period, Discovery. Introduction Most outdoor plants (trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials) in Hungarian horticulture are exotas, which feel good in our climate. In outdoor planting it is very important that plants feel good in their new environment or at least that they can tolerate it, which will depend on their original environment, i.e. the circumstances under which they were chosen. That is why many plants from Middle and East Asia and North America have an important part to play in the structure of Hungarian and European ornamentals. Speciality of the Chinese Flora The flora of China is diversified and has many species. The reason for this is that the lay of the country’s land varies. There are high mountains, ones over 4.000 meters, with alpine vegetation; highlands with forests; and lowlands lying near sea level. Especially in China, these different places are close to each other, so many kinds of plants occupy a relatively small area.

  • Green Factor Plant List 2010
    Revised December 2010 Seattle Green Factor Plant List Notes: ● All plants on this list are drought-tolerant once they are established unless comments indicate otherwise. ● Seattle Department of Transportations Right-of Way Improvement Manual establishes height limits for non-street-tree plantings in rights-of-way. Maximum plant height within 30 feet of an intersection (as measured from the corner of the curb) is 24 inches. Elsewhere in the right-of-way, plantings are allowed to be 30 inches tall. ● "Bioretention Zone" describes where plants can appropriately be used in bioretention systems such as swales and rain gardens. Zone 1 is the designation for plants that can be used in the flat bottoms of bioretention facilities: 1A refers to species that prefer soil saturation or shallow inundation for long durations, while Zone 1B refers to plants that can alternate between dry ands short-term saturated conditions. Zone 2 is the designation for plants best used at the well-drained slopes of bioretention facilities. All other species are appropriate for planting at the tops of bioretention areas.

  • G Plant Records.Pub
    Watsonia 27: 73–89 (2008) PLANT RECORDS 73 Plant Records Records for publication must be submitted to the appropriate Vice-county Recorder (see BSBI Year Book 2005), and not to the Editors. Following publication of the New Atlas of the British & Irish Flora and the Vice-county Census Catalogue, new criteria have been drawn up for the inclusion of records in Plant Records. (See BSBI News no. 95, January 2004 pp10 & 11). These are outlined below: • First records of all taxa (species, subspecies and hybrids) included in the VCCC, designated as native, archaeophyte, neophyte or casual. • First record since 1970 of the taxa above, except in the case of Rubus, Hieracium and Taraxacum. • Records demonstrating the rediscovery of all taxa published as extinct in the VCCC or subsequently. • Newly reported definite extinctions. • Deletions from the VCCC (e.g. through the discovery of errors, the redetermination of specimens etc.) NB – only those errors affecting VCCC entry. • New 10km square records for Rare and Scarce plants, defined as those species in the New Atlas mapped in the British Isles in 100 10km squares or fewer. (See BSBI News no. 95, January 2004 pp 36-43). Records for the subdivisions of vice-counties will not be treated separately; they must therefore be records for the vice-county as a whole. However, records will be accepted for the major islands in v.cc. 102-104, 110 and 113. In the following list, records are arranged in the order given in the List of Vascular Plants of the British Isles and its supplements by D.

  • 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.

  • May 16, 1929 No
    ARNOLD ARBORETUM HARVARD UNIVERSITY BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION SERIES 3. VOL. III MAY 16, 1929 NO. 5 The Arboretum is perhaps as beautiful at the present moment as at any time of the year. Nearly all the trees are just pushing into growth and among the young unfolding leaves every shade of green is present and in contrast there are the grays, pinks, and ruddy browns of the Oaks’ expanding buds. The tracery of the branches is not yet hidden and the crowns of all the deciduous trees look light and airy. There is also a good deal of blossom to be seen no matter where one may walk. The collections of the Arboretum represent in epitome the woody flora of northern lands and the beauty of the arborescent wealth of the boreal regions of Europe, Asia, and North America invites the visitor. Not least at the moment is the Flowering Dogwood, one of the most delightful of the smaller trees of North America. Rarely is it that Massachusetts enjoys for two seasons in succession the Flowering Dogwood in all its beauty. Thanks to the mild winters, the Dogwood was splendid last season and it promises to be equally good this year. People who live on Long Island and southward are accustomed to an annual display of white saucers on their Dogwood trees, but here the free blossoming is only occasional and when it happens it is an event worth noting. In the Arboretum this Dogwood has been freely planted alongside the drives and on the rr:argins of woodlands, where at the moment it is conspicuous.
