Weeks, Dendrologist Department of Forestry and Natural Resources Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 This publication is available in color at http://www.ces.purdue.edu/extmedia/fnr.htm Introduction When most Midwesterners think of a magnolia, images of the grand, evergreen southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) (Figure 1) usually come to mind. Even those familiar with magnolias tend to think of them as occurring only in the South, where a more moderate climate prevails. Seven species do indeed thrive, especially in the southern Appalachian Mountains. But how many Hoosiers know that there are two native species Figure 2. Cucumber magnolia when planted will grow well throughout Indiana. In Charles Deam’s Trees of Indiana, the author reports “it doubtless occurred in all or nearly all of the counties in southern Indiana south of a line drawn from Franklin to Knox counties.” It was mainly found as a scattered, woodland tree and considered very local. Today, it is known to occur in only three small native populations and is listed as State Endangered Figure 1. Southern magnolia by the Division of Nature Preserves within Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources. found in Indiana? Very few, I suspect. No native As the common name suggests, the immature magnolias occur further west than eastern Texas, fruits are green and resemble a cucumber so we “easterners” are uniquely blessed with the (Figure 3). Pioneers added the seeds to whisky presence of these beautiful flowering trees. to make bitters, a supposed remedy for many Indiana’s most “abundant” species, cucumber ailments.

  • American Forests National Big Tree Program Species Without Champions
    American Forests National Big Tree Program Champion trees are the superstars of their species — and there are more than 700 of them in our national register. Each champion is the result of a lucky combination: growing in a spot protected by the landscape or by people who have cared about and for it, good soil, the right amount of water, and resilience to the elements, surviving storms, disease and pests. American Forests National Big Tree Program was founded to honor these trees. Since 1940, we have kept the only national register of champion trees (http://www.americanforests.org/explore- forests/americas-biggest-trees/champion-trees-national-register/) Champion trees are found by people just like you — school teachers, kids fascinated by science, tree lovers of all ages and even arborists for whom a fun day off is measuring the biggest tree they can find. You, too, can become a big tree hunter and compete to find new champions. Species without Champions (March, 2018) Gold rows indict species that have Idaho State Champions but the nominations are too old to be submitted for National Champion status.

  • Magnolia X Soulangiana Saucer Magnolia1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-386 October 1994 Magnolia x soulangiana Saucer Magnolia1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Saucer Magnolia is a multi-stemmed, spreading tree, 25 feet tall with a 20 to 30-foot spread and bright, attractive gray bark (Fig. 1). Growth rate is moderately fast but slows down considerably as the tree reaches about 20-years of age. Young trees are distinctly upright, becoming more oval, then round by 10 years of age. Large, fuzzy, green flower buds are carried through the winter at the tips of brittle branches. The blooms open in late winter to early spring before the leaves, producing large, white flowers shaded in pink, creating a spectacular flower display. However, a late frost can often ruin the flowers in all areas where it is grown. This can be incredibly disappointing since you wait 51 weeks for the flowers to appear. In warmer climates, the late- flowering selections avoid frost damage but some are less showy than the early-flowered forms which blossom when little else is in flower. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Magnolia x soulangiana Figure 1. Middle-aged Saucer Magnolia. Pronunciation: mag-NO-lee-uh x soo-lan-jee-AY-nuh Common name(s): Saucer Magnolia DESCRIPTION Family: Magnoliaceae USDA hardiness zones: 5 through 9A (Fig. 2) Height: 20 to 25 feet Origin: not native to North America Spread: 20 to 30 feet Uses: container or above-ground planter; espalier; Crown uniformity: irregular outline or silhouette near a deck or patio; shade tree; specimen; no proven Crown shape: round; upright urban tolerance Crown density: open Availability: generally available in many areas within Growth rate: medium its hardiness range 1.

  • 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.

  • Tree Litter Kevin Dunn
    Tree Litter Kevin Dunn 1) Leaves What makes a particular species of tree messy while another one is considered clean? I count 5 factors: 1)Leaves a) Ideal Trees (Ginkgo and Oriental Spruce) Ginkgo Tree/Clean Tree Oriental Spruce/Clean Tree Leaves b) Winter Leaf Retention (Pin Oak and Shingle Oak) c) Leaves that decompose slowly (Evergreen Magnolias, Oaks, and Sycamores) vs Quick decomposers (Maples, Elms, and Tulip trees) Brackens Evergreen Magnolia Sycamore Sugar Maple Tulip Tree Princeton American Elm Leaves d) Leaf drop due to disease or environmental stress, disease resistant Crabapples, River Birch vs Prairie Gold Aspen Crabapple Tree River Birch Prairie Gold Aspen 2)Weak, brittle wood Many times, it’s the faster growing trees that produce the weakest wood. Silver maples, willows, Siberian elms, and Callery pears such as the Bradford are examples. These trees are all susceptible to breaking up from ice storms, thunderstorms, or high winds. Weak, brittle wood Consider planting slower growers with stronger wood such as Sugar maples, disease resistant cultivars of American elm such as Princeton, or parrotia also called Persian ironwood. Some of the slower growing native oaks have some of the strongest wood, e.g., burr oak which has stronger wood than the much faster growing pin oak. Parrotia Tree Burr Oak 3) Fruit Examples include acorns, pine cones, drupes (dogwood trees and hollies), aggregate of follicles (magnolia), samara (maple trees), a syncarp of drupes (hedge apple tree), berry-like pome (serviceberry), pome (crabapple), pod (locust trees, redbuds), gumballs (sweetgum tree) Nellie Stevens Holly Honey Locust Tree Fruit Birds and other animals often eat the fruit of some trees before it ever drops.

  • 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.
