  • Screen Plants for TN Landscapes
    SCREEN PLANTS FOR THE TN LANDSCAPE September 2020 Carol Reese, Regional Horticulture Extension Specialist Celeste Scott, UT Extension Agent Lucas Holman, TSU Extension Agent Jason Reeves, UT Gardens-Jackson Sustainable Screen Design Often we see a screen planting that consists of a straight line of a single species of plant. This approach is risky, the equivalent of putting all your eggs in one basket. In a scenario that has become all too common in the American landscape, plants considered highly adaptable and durable today can be susceptible to the introduction of a newly introduced pest or disease tomorrow. In a monoculture planting, the pest or disease can easily pass from plant to plant with catastrophic results. Potential for disaster also exists in a predictable pattern of just a couple of species. If just a plant or two dies, the disruption in the design shouts for attention, akin to a “missing tooth.” Consider an informal planting of a variety of plant species in natural-looking groups. The loss of a plant will not be obvious, and if replacements should be necessary, those would not need to “match” the plants still thriving. Varying species also allows the designer to select plants to meet specific siting criteria (sun, shade, drainage) that could vary across the planting site. Overtime, should any of the larger components of the screen begin to get leggy and sparse at their base, understory shrubs can fill these spaces. A diverse screen can offer seasonal interest, and provide shelter and nourishment for wildlife. A screen that doubles as good wildlife habitat can establish a healthy balance of predators to prey, helping with pest control, thus serving as an effective facet of integrated pest management.

  • Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a Further Comparison
    photograph © Zhang Lin A rare view of Wa Shan almost minus its shroud of mist, viewed from the Abies fabri forested slopes of Emei Shan. At its far left the mist-filled Dadu River gorge drops to 500-600m. To its right the 3048m high peak of Mao Kou Shan climbed by Ernest Wilson on 3 July 1903. “As seen from the top of Mount Omei, it resembles a huge Noah’s Ark, broadside on, perched high up amongst the clouds” (Wilson 1913, describing Wa Shan floating in the proverbial ‘sea of clouds’). Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a further comparison CHRIS CALLAGHAN of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum 72 updates his woody plants comparison of Wa Shan and its sister mountain, World Heritage-listed Emei Shan, finding Wa Shan to be deserving of recognition as one of the planet’s top hotspots for biological diversity. The founding fathers of modern day botany in China all trained at western institutions in Europe and America during the early decades of last century. In particular, a number of these eminent Chinese botanists, Qian Songshu (Prof. S. S. Chien), Hu Xiansu (Dr H. H. Hu of Metasequoia fame), Chen Huanyong (Prof. W. Y. Chun, lead author of Cathaya argyrophylla), Zhong Xinxuan (Prof. H. H. Chung) and Prof. Yung Chen, undertook their training at various institutions at Harvard University between 1916 and 1926 before returning home to estab- lish the initial Chinese botanical research institutions, initiate botanical exploration and create the earliest botanical gardens of China (Li 1944). It is not too much to expect that at least some of them would have had personal encounters with Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson who was stationed at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard between 1910 and 1930 for the final 20 years of his life.

  • Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Investigation of Hong
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comparative analysis and phylogenetic investigation of Hong Kong Ilex chloroplast genomes Bobby Lim‑Ho Kong1,3, Hyun‑Seung Park2, Tai‑Wai David Lau1,3, Zhixiu Lin4, Tae‑Jin Yang2 & Pang‑Chui Shaw1,3* Ilex is a monogeneric plant group (containing approximately 600 species) in the Aquifoliaceae family and one of the most commonly used medicinal herbs. However, its taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships at the species level are debatable. Herein, we obtained the complete chloroplast genomes of all 19 Ilex types that are native to Hong Kong. The genomes are conserved in structure, gene content and arrangement. The chloroplast genomes range in size from 157,119 bp in Ilex gracilifora to 158,020 bp in Ilex kwangtungensis. All these genomes contain 125 genes, of which 88 are protein‑coding and 37 are tRNA genes. Four highly varied sequences (rps16-trnQ, rpl32-trnL, ndhD-psaC and ycf1) were found. The number of repeats in the Ilex genomes is mostly conserved, but the number of repeating motifs varies. The phylogenetic relationship among the 19 Ilex genomes, together with eight other available genomes in other studies, was investigated. Most of the species could be correctly assigned to the section or even series level, consistent with previous taxonomy, except Ilex rotunda var. microcarpa, Ilex asprella var. tapuensis and Ilex chapaensis. These species were reclassifed; I. rotunda was placed in the section Micrococca, while the other two were grouped with the section Pseudoaquifolium. These studies provide a better understanding of Ilex phylogeny and refne its classifcation. Ilex, a monogeneric plant group in the family Aquifoliaceae, is a widespread genus.

  • HOLLY-Genus-Overview.Pdf
    HOLLY (Ilex) Genus Overview Ilex is a genus of about 400 species. It is widespread throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. It includes species of trees, shrubs, and climbers, with evergreen or deciduous foliage and inconspicuous flowers. Plants in this genus have simple, alternate glossy leaves, typically with a spiny toothed or serrated leaf margin. Flowers are primarily dioecious, which refers to the fact that male and female flowers occur on separate plants. The small, white flowers are generally lost among the foliage when they appear during mid spring to early summer. The fruit of hollies are commonly called berries, but are more correctly termed drupes, since they feature a hard inner layer (endocarp). These ripen by late summer or fall and can be black, red, orange or even yellow depending on the species or cultivar. Another interesting trait is that most hollies respond courageously to drastic pruning. Large plants can be cut back to the ground and subsequently produce vigorous new shoots from older, mature wood. Mature specimens can be “rejuvenated” if they become too large, open or leggy. Hollies are among the most versatile group of hardy ornamental plants and are frequently utilized as accent or foundation plants, screens or as lone specimens. There is truly a holly for almost any landscape application. 1: Ilex aquifolium The English Holly is an upright, broadleaf evergreen tree that can reach 30 to 50 feet with a dense growing habit, even in old age. Native to a large area of Europe and western Asia, the species has been horticulturally important for centuries and now boasts over 200 cultivars with varying characteristics.

With distinctive leaf morphology and growth habitats, but uniform reproductive organs (flowers and fruits), the evolutionary relationships of Ilex remain an enigma. To date, few contrast analyses have been conducted on morphology and molecular patterns in Ilex. Here, the different phenotypic traits of four endemic Ilex species (I. latifolia, I. suaveolens, I. viridis, and I. micrococca) on Mount Huangshan, China, were surveyed through an anatomic assay and DNA image cytometry, showing the unspecified link between the examined morphology and the estimated nuclear genome size. Concurrently, the newly-assembled plastid genomes in four Ilex have lengths ranging from 157,601 bp to 157,857 bp, containing a large single-copy (LSC, 87,020–87,255 bp), a small single-copy (SSC, 18,394–18,434 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,065–26,102 bp) regions.

  • Ilex Latifolia Lusterleaf Holly1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-303 November 1993 Ilex latifolia Lusterleaf Holly1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION This broad-leaved, evergreen tree can reach 40 feet in height with a 20 to 25-foot spread but is usually seen at half that size (Fig. 1). The six-inch- long, glossy dark green, leathery leaves have serrate margins and are unusually coarse-textured and large for a Holly. The 0.25-inch-thick, newly emerging green shoots add to the coarseness of this attractive tree. New shoots droop under the weight of the emerging leaves creating a full-crowned, round or slightly pyramidal canopy. The inconspicuous, yellowish-white spring flowers are followed by a profusion of small, brick red berries (on female plants), appearing in dense clusters, and persisting on the plants throughout the winter. Both male and female plants must be planted to ensure production of the berries. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Ilex latifolia Pronunciation: EYE-lecks lat-ih-FOLE-ee-uh Common name(s): Lusterleaf Holly Family: Aquifoliaceae USDA hardiness zones: 7 through 9 (Fig. 2) Origin: not native to North America Figure 1.
