  • Glacial Lake Albany Butterfly Milkweed Plant Release Notice
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE BIG FLATS, NEW YORK AND ALBANY PINE BUSH PRESERVE COMMISSION ALBANY, NEW YORK AND THE NATURE CONSERVANCY EASTERN NEW YORK CHAPTER TROY, NEW YORK AND NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ALBANY, NEW YORK NOTICE OF RELEASE OF GLACIAL LAKE ALBANY GERMPLASM BUTTERFLY MILKWEED The Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, The Nature Conservancy, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, announce the release of a source-identified ecotype of Butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa L.). As a source identified release, this plant will be referred to as Glacial Lake Albany Germplasm butterfly milkweed, to document its original location. It has been assigned the NRCS accession number, 9051776. This alternative release procedure is justified because there is an immediate need for a source of local ecotype of butterfly milkweed. Plant material of this specific ecotype is needed for ecosystem and endangered species habitat restoration in the Pine Barrens of Glacial Lake Albany. The inland pitch pine - scrub oak barrens of Glacial Lake Albany are a globally rare ecosystem and provide habitat for 20 rare species, including the federally endangered Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis). The potential for immediate use is high and the commercial potential beyond Glacial Lake Albany is probably high. Collection Site Information: Stands are located within Glacial Lake Albany, from Albany, New York to Glens Falls, New York, and generally within the Albany Pine Bush Preserve, just west of Albany, New York. The elevation within the Pine Barrens is approximately 300 feet, containing a savanna-like ecosystem with sandy soils wind- swept into dunes, following the last glacial period.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

  • Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti for Use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1
    Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti For use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1 Haiti occupies the western one third of the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic the remainder. Of all the islands within the Caribbean basin Hispaniola possesses the most varied flora after that of Cuba. The plants contained in this review have been recorded as native to Haiti, though some may now have been extirpated due in large part to severe deforestation. Less than 1.5% of the country’s original tree-cover remains. Haiti’s future is critically tied to re- forestation; loss of tree cover has been so profound that exotic fast growing trees, rather than native species, are being used to halt soil erosion and lessen the risk of mudslides. For more information concerning Haiti’s ecological plight consult references at the end of this document. For present purposes all of the trees listed below are native to Haiti, which is why non-natives such as mango (the most widely planted tree) and other important trees such as citrus, kassod tree (Senna siamea) and lead tree (Leucanea leucocephala) are not included. The latter two trees are among the fast growing species used for re-forestation. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Flora of the West Indies was an invaluable tool in assessing the range of plants native to Haiti. Not surprisingly many of the listed trees and shrubs 1 John McLaughlin Ph.D. U.F./Miami-Dade County Extension Office, Homestead, FL 33030 Page | 1 are found in other parts of the Caribbean with some also native to South Florida.

  • Fall Line Magnolia Bogs of the Mid-Atlantic Region
    nsua 74 Fall Line Magnolia Bogs of the Mid-Atlantic Region Rodedck Simmons end Nark Strong [Reprinted from the October zooz issue of Audubon Naturalist] Magnolia Bogs have long been regarded as one of the most inter- esting natural features in the Washington, D.C. area. W. L. McA- tee, a Washington area naturalist who first defined these bogs in r9rg, termed them "Magnolia Bogs" for the unique assemblage of sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana), Sphagnum moss, and other bog flora. Occasionally they are referred to as "McAteean Bogs, " after McAtee, or "Seepage Bogs. " These bogs usually form on hillsides or slopes where a spring or seep flows from an upland gravel and sand aquifer over a thick, impervious layer of underly- ing clay which prevents the downward infiltration of water. This seepage flow and the highly acidic, gravelly soils create optimal conditions for the formation of bogs. The term "bog" as applied here, although technically a misno- mer, has traditionally been used by people in general, including botanists, to describe acidic, sphagnous wetlands that strongly resemble bogs. Magnolia Bogs are actually acidic, fen-like seeps uniquely associated with high elevation gravel terraces of the inner Coastal Plain near the Fall Line, which divides the Coastal Plain and Piedmont physiographic provinces in the mid-Atlantic region. Their distribution generally follows the Fall Line in a nar- row east-west band from the Laurel area, at the northern extent of their range in Prince George's County, Maryland, to their southern extent near Fredericksburg, Virginia. Throughout their range, they were never common or very large, usually occupying an area an acre or less in size.

  • Asclepias Exaltata Common Name: Poke Milkweed Family: Asclepiadaceae Height: 2-6 Ft
    Asclepias exaltata Common Name: Poke Milkweed Family: Asclepiadaceae Height: 2-6 ft. Spread: 2 feet Bloom: green or pale purple, hoods white or light pink Bloom Time: May-June Sun: partial or dappled sunlight Water: medium This is a tall-growing milkweed with unusual bicolored flowers. Habitats consist of woodland openings, rich mesic woodlands, sandy woodlands, upland rocky woodlands, wooded slopes, areas along paths in woodlands, and woodland borders. The flowers of Poke Milkweed attract bumblebees and butterflies, including the Monarch and Great Spangled Fritillary butterflies. Mammalian herbivores avoid consumption of milkweeds as their foliage contains toxic cardiac glycosides and it is bitter-tasting. Poke Milkweed has been known to hybridize with Common Milkweed, producing plants with intermediate characteristics. Blephilia hirsuta Common Name: Hairy Wood Mint Plant Type: Herbaceous perennial Family: Mint family (Lamiaceae) Height: 1–3' Bloom: pink, purple or white Spread: 2 feet Sun: partial sun to light shade Water: moist to mesic The preference is a rich loamy soil with decaying leaf mold. Habitats include mesic deciduous woodlands, areas along woodland paths, woodland borders, woodland openings, limestone glades, and thickets. The preference is a rich loamy soil with decaying leaf mold. Habitats include mesic deciduous woodlands, areas along woodland paths, woodland borders, woodland openings, limestone glades, and thickets. The dense whorls of flowers distinguish the genus Blephilia from many other members of the Mint family. Another member of this genus that occurs in Ohio is Downy Wood Mint (Blephilia ciliata). Downy Wood Mint prefers habitats that are somewhat sunnier and drier; it is sometimes found in prairies and savannas.

  • Plants for Rain Gardens Recommended for Central North Carolina
    Plants for Rain Gardens Recommended for central North Carolina Charlotte Glen, Urban Horticulture Agent, North Carolina Cooperative Extension – New Hanover County Center Soil conditions in rain gardens alternate between wet and dry, making them tough places for many plants to grow. The following plants are adapted to these conditions, though some plants will tolerate more moisture than others. Each plant is marked according to its flooding tolerance, with 3’s being tolerant of longer flooding, 2’s only tolerating brief flooding, and 1’s indicate plants that tolerant extended drought once established. All of these plants are native to the southeastern United States in wetland habitats and most are readily available at local nurseries. Wetland plants can generally grow well in moist or well-drained soils, whereas plants adapted to dry soils rarely survive in soggy conditions. How wet a rain garden stays will vary considerably depending on the site where it is installed. Rain gardens created on sandy soils will rarely hold water for more than a few hours. On these sites it is most important to choose plants for their drought tolerance. Rain gardens created on loamy or silty soils could pond water for 1-2 days (if your site ponds water for more than 3 days, you should consider creating a wetland). On these sites, choosing plants tolerant of extended flooding is critical to success. Remember you are not limited to planting just within the excavated area! Extending plantings around this area will help the rain garden to blend in with the overall landscape. Any plants adapted to the site conditions can be used outside of the excavated area.
