APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program
APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program Midtown Alliance launched the Tree Well Adoption program with the primary goal of enriching the experience of Midtown’s workers and residents while encouraging sustainability through the use of low-water, urban tolerant plant species. This list of plants was created to aid individuals and organizations in selecting plant material to plant in their adopted tree wells. This plant list is intended to encourage individual character in the tree wells, rather than restrict creativity in the selection of plants. The plants on the approved list were selected based on the following criteria: • Perennial. All plants listed are perennial, meaning they last for two or more growing seasons. Once established, these plants will require less water to maintain than annuals. • Heat tolerant. Plants in tree wells are exposed to high temperatures caused by vehicles and heat reflected from surrounding buildings, asphalt, and other urban surfaces. They must also be tolerant to high daytime temperatures, typical of Atlanta’s summer months, and cold hardy in the winter months. Atlanta is located in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b/8a. • Water wise. Urban tree wells are surrounded by impervious surfaces and thus, are highly susceptible to periods of drought. Suitable plants must be able to survive periods of low rainfall. • Pollution tolerant. Vehicle exhaust may leave deposits and pollutants on plant foliage, which can kill sensitive plants. • Encourage wildlife. Flowering plants attract insects such as butterflies while others provide food sources for birds and other wildlife. • Grown locally. Many of the plants listed are native to the Atlanta area, and all can be found at local nurseries.

Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, Tribe Coreopsideae
Schilling, E.E., N. Mattson, and A. Floden. 2014. Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, tribe Coreopsideae. Phytoneuron 2014-101: 1–6. Published 20 October 2014. ISSN 2153 733X BARCODING THE ASTERACEAE OF TENNESSEE, TRIBE COREOPSIDEAE EDWARD E. SCHILLING, NICHOLAS MATTSON, AARON FLODEN Herbarium TENN Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Results from barcoding studies of tribe Coreopsideae for the Tennessee flora using the nuclear ribosomal ITS marker are presented and include the first complete reports for 2 of the 20 species of the tribe that occur in the state, as well as updated reports for several others. Sequence data from the ITS region separate most of the species of Bidens in Tennessee from one another, but species of Coreopsis, especially those of sect. Coreopsis, have ITS sequences that are identical (or nearly so) to at least one congener. Comparisons of sequence data to GenBank records are complicated by apparent inaccuracies of older sequences as well as potentially misidentified samples. Broad survey of C. lanceolata from across its range showed little variability, but the ITS sequence of a morphologically distinct sample from a Florida limestone glade area was distinct in lacking a length polymorphism that was present in other samples. Tribe Coreopsideae is part of the Heliantheae alliance and earlier was often included in an expanded Heliantheae (Anderberg et al. 2007) in which it was usually treated as a subtribe (Crawford et al. 2009). The tribe shows a small burst of diversity in the southeastern USA involving Bidens and Coreopsis sect.

Flowering Perennials for Georgia Gardens
Flowering Perennials for Georgia Gardens Prepared by Paul A. Thomas, Extension Horticulturist Plants are classed according to their growth cycle as Some sources have suggested that perennials are not annuals, biennials or perennials. Annuals are short-lived well suited to the Southeast. This simply is not true. Many plants that complete their entire life cycle within one perennials perform exceedingly well in Georgia and the growing season. Biennials normally do not bloom until the Southeast in general. Not all perennials perform well here, second season, form seeds and then die. Perennials live but then not all perennials perform well in the Northeast from year to year, with varying bloom times. or even in England. Remember, much of the existing Perennials are also classed as woody (trees and shrubs literature regarding perennials is based on conditions that produce woody above-ground stems and branches that where cooler summer climates prevail. So exercise care in live from year to year) or herbaceous (plants that produce choosing plants well adapted for your particular area. comparatively soft tissues which often die back to ground Most perennials are completely winter hardy, although level at the end of the growing season). Herbaceous there are a few so-called tender perennials that are some- perennials persist by means of various underground times injured by low temperatures.

The distinction between annuals and perennials, woody and herbaceous, is not always sharply defined because climate influences growth potential.

Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees)
Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees) Whitney Cranshaw Colorado State University Observations were made during the 2007-2009 growing seasons on the relative attractiveness of various flowering ornamental plants to honey bees (Apis mellifera). This information was collected so that honey bee favorability - or lack of favorability - may be considered in plant selection. The study was conducted by repeated visits to public garden plantings in Larimer, Denver, Adams, and Cheyenne counties. Gardens were chosen that had large mass plantings of numerous flowering plants so that comparisons could be made and included the Denver Botanic Garden, gardens at Colorado State University (PERC, Flower Demonstration Planting), Welby Gardens, and Cheyenne Botanic Garden. These sites also were chosen because plantings had identification labeling. Plantings were visited between 2 and 12 times between mid-June and mid-September. Evaluations were made by examining plants that were in flower for the presence of honey bees. A planting was then given a relative ranking based on honey bee numbers. A 0-3 scale was used: 3 - Heavily visited by foraging honey bees 2 - Moderately visited by honey bees and foraged 1 - Honey bees seen occasionally visiting flowers 0 - Honey bees do not forage at these flowers Data were collected from a total of 319 different plant entries durig this study. Variation in rankings between dates did occur; where this occurred from multiple ratings the final ranking was rounded up to a whole number. Numerous other bees and other insects were commonly seen on many plants.

State of Maryland Physiographic Regions WHAT ARE NATIVE PLANTS? A native plant is a species that originates or occurs naturally in a particular region. As our local habitat is disturbed by development, non-native and invasive plants change the character of our landscapes. Although many naturalized but introduced plants occur in most regions, the native plants listed are species that existed in Maryland when the European settlers arrived, or they are cultivars of these species.

Plants and Their Pollinators
Plants and Their Pollinators: CREATING PERFECT PAIRINGS WHEN YOU GARDEN EVELYN PRESLEY, PRESENTER PRINCIPAL, SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING EAGLE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Topics To Be Discussed What is pollination? Why is pollination important? Who are our pollinators? A definition of Pollinator Syndrome The pollinators for discussion today What plants do each pollinator prefer? Planning How To Plant For Pollinators Image from: www.gardeningknowhow.com Container Gardening for Pollinators What Is Pollination? Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anthers of one flower to the stigmas of the same or another flower. Why Is Pollination Important? Pollination makes it possible for the plant to reproduce. Flowers that are not pollinated do not produce fruits. Self-pollination can produce seeds and fruit. Not unlike human inbreeding, plant inbreeding can create negative traits, along with a tendency to be unable to evolve in the event that the plants’ environment changes. Cross-pollination refers to the movement of pollen between flowers from plant to plant; the resulting melding of genes creates a healthier plant community. Who Are Our Pollinators? Wind; this process is known as anemophily pollination Water; one form of this process is known as hydrophily pollination These two pollinators are abiotic pollinators. Organisms (humans and animals, including insects, both accidentally and intentionally). Entomophilous pollination is insect pollination. Zoophilous pollination is that performed by vertebrates; humans fall into this pollination category. These pollinators are biotic pollinators. Pollinator Syndrome By Definition/Benefits To Plants Plants and pollinators have co-evolved physical characteristics that make them more likely to interact successfully. The plants benefit from attracting a particular type of pollinator to its flower, ensuring that its pollen will be carried to another flower of the same species and hopefully resulting in successful reproduction.

Native Plant Guide
Lower Shore Land Trust Native Plant Guide About the Lower Shore Land Trust The Lower Shore Land Trust is a non-profit, charitable organization formed in 1990. Since then, the Lower Shore Land Trust (LSLT) has preserved more than 18,000 acres of land along the Lower Eastern Shore, helping to maintain the character of the region. LSLT ensures that the character of the land and the quality of life it nourishes will remain intact for the benefit and enjoyment of generations to come. As our Lower Shore population grows and land-use pressures intensify, it is increasingly important that we protect our resources, maintain important habitat, and restore degraded habitat where possible. Working with willing landowners to implement conservation easements, the LSLT has critical natural resources and working landscapes throughout Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties. Conservation easements can be tailored to the needs and desires of a property owner to control the future use, appearance, and character of the land. Landowners can continue to farm, harvest timber, and hunt, as well as reserve building rights for future use. Conservation Easement Benefits for Landowners • potential federal and state income tax deductions • potential lower estate taxes • fifteen-year real property tax credit on unimproved portions of the easement property Conservation Easement Benefits for Everyone • preserving forests and farmlands has distinct economic and cultural benefits • forests and wetlands maintain water quality, offer buffer protection, and flood control • forests and wetlands, improve air quality • forests, wetlands, and open spaces enhance plant and animal biodiversity • our children and grandchildren will have the opportunity to enjoy these special places just as we have enjoyed them While LSLT generally works to preserve larger land parcels, the importance of habitat and open space can begin in your backyard.
