The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

Prunus Subhirtella 'Pendula' Weeping Higan Cherry
Fact Sheet ST-519 October 1994 Prunus subhirtella ‘Pendula’ Weeping Higan Cherry1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Weeping Higan Cherry grows 20 to 30 feet tall and spreads 15 to 25 feet in a graceful weeping habit (Fig. 1). Leaves stay glossy green throughout the summer and into the fall when they turn a vivid yellow before leaving the tree bare in winter. The drooping bare branches even lend a soothing grace to the landscape in winter. There is nothing quite like the Weeping Higan Cherry in full bloom in the spring. The light pink (almost white), one-inch-diameter flowers cover the branches before the leaves emerge, giving the appearance that fresh snow has fallen on the tree. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Prunus subhirtella ‘Pendula’ Pronunciation: PROO-nus sub-her-TELL-uh Common name(s): Weeping Higan Cherry Family: Rosaceae USDA hardiness zones: 5 through 8 (Fig. 2) Origin: not native to North America Figure 1.

THE BETTER ORIENTAL CHERRIES Is Always Much Interest in the Oriental Flowering Cherries at This Time Therethroughout the Eastern United States
ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR I~1FORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 10 AYRIL 28, I9aO NUMBER 3 THE BETTER ORIENTAL CHERRIES is always much interest in the oriental flowering cherries at this time THEREthroughout the eastern United States. In Washington, l’hiladelphia, New York and other eastern cities extensive plantings of them can be seen in late April when they first burst into bloom, for the flowers have the most desirable trait of appearing before the leaves (in the case of most single flowered forms) or with the leaves in the case of the double flowered forms. Certainly in no cases are the flowers hidden by the fohage! In New England there are some that are perfectly hardy, some that are hardy in all but the most severe winters, and others which should not be grown at all, either because they are tender, or be- cause they are similar in flower to some of the better species and varieties. The Arnold Arboretum has been responsible for the introduction of many of these oriental trees and has planted numerous varieties over the years. Charles Sprague Sargent, Ernest Henry Wilson and others have been outstanding in the study and introduction of many of these plants, so it may prove helpful to gar- deners in New England to review some information about these plants at this t~me, as they come into flower. The Sargent Cherry is the tallest of all, being a standard tree up to 75 feet in height, although m this country few trees have exceeded 50 feet.

Text in blue indicates shrub or hedge. (Unfinished task – there is no text in blue other than this text right here.) Text in red indicates that the species or cultivar is undesirable: • Out of range climatically (either wrong zone, or won’t do well because of differences in moisture or seasons, even though it is in the “right” zone). • Will grow too tall or wide and simply won’t fit well on my property.

The nomenclature of cultivated Japanese flowering cherries {Prunus): The Sato-zakura group. U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Arboretum Contribution No. 5, 44 pp. Japanese flowering cherries are grown all over the temperate world. Wherever they occur, nomenclature problems exist. Before any serious taxonomical study of this complex plant group can be made, a solution to these problems is necessary. This publication offers a logical way to solve them. For the first time, it brings existing names used for Japanese flowering cherries into conformity with the "International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants-1980" and separates selections of cultivated origin from all other botanical taxa of Prunus. Further, it provides a means for naming future Japanese flowering cherry introductions of unknown or confused origins so that their status in horticultural nomenclature is clearly established.

Flood Tolerant Prunus
"SNA RESEARCH CONFERENCE - VOL. 38-1993" tile drains separated from the soil by a semipermeable fabric. Pipe or holes shall be prevented from clogging up by wrapping or covering with a filter fabric. References: 1. City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Dept. 1991 ,” Policies and Standards Governing Activities Which Impact City Trees” Flood Tolerant Prunus Thomas G. Ranney North Carolina Nature of Work: Many species of Prunus are notoriously intolerant of poor drainage. In some cases, inundation of the root system for only a few days can be sufficient to kill certain of these plants (1). Research conducted on commercial fruit trees, however, has shown there to be considerable variation in flood tolerance among different species and hybrids of prunus (3). For example, comparisons among cherry rootstocks have shown that P. avium is better adapted to poorly drained conditions than is P. mahaleb (2). Conventionally, many of the flowering prunus are propagated by budding and grafting. Recently, however, there has been greater interest in growing flowering Prunus from rooted cuttings. Although this type of propagation can simplify production practices and minimize problems of rootstock suckering, there is little information on the adaptability ornamental Prunus trees when grown on their own roots. The objective of this project was to evaluate differential sensitivity of ownrooted taxa of Prunus to acute flooding. Taxa studied included: P. avium ‘F 12/1’, Prunus caroliniana, P. incisa x campanulata ‘Okame’, P. japonica, P. mume ‘Peggy Clark’, P. x ‘Newport’, P. sargentii, P. serru/ata ‘Kwanzan’, P. subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’, P. virginiana ‘Canada Red’, and P. x yedoensis.

Cherry Trees (Prunus Species) the U. S. Tradition of Planting Hundreds
1 Collyer Lane, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920 email: [email protected] Website: http://www.bernards.org/boards_commissions/shade_tree/default.aspx Cherry Trees (Prunus species) The U. S. tradition of planting hundreds or even thousands of cherry trees dates back to 1885 when Eliza Scidmore was impressed with the beauty of the flowering cherries on a visit to Japan. On return, she began to promote the idea of planting large groves of Japanese cherries in the Washington, DC parks. At first the government showed little interest in her suggestion, but some individuals imported trees for their gardens and this piqued the interest of others in the area. David Fairchild bought 1000 trees and planted them in Chevy Chase, MD and later donated saplings to DC schools in recognition of Arbor Day. Fairchild also suggested a "field of cherries" be planted in what is now known as the tidal basin. Meanwhile Eliza Scidmore wrote a letter to Helen Taft, the wife of the newly elected president Howard Taft, promoting Fairchild's idea. This led to the purchase of 90 cherry trees that were planted along the Potomac River. Via diplomatic channels a donation of 2000 cherry trees was made by Japan's capital city, Tokyo, as a sign of friendship with the US. This first shipment in 1910 of 2000 trees was seriously affected by various insect and disease problems and was removed and burned. In 1912 the Japanese government shipped a new batch of 3020 cherry trees, consisting of eight different cultivars, to replace the original shipment. These trees were planted in Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park.

175 Section 6 Stone Fruits (Prunus Spp.)
SECTION 6 STONE FRUITS (PRUNUS SPP.) 1. Introduction A. General Background The genus of Prunus sensu latu comprises more domesticated (also cultivated) species of temperate fruits than the other genera in the family of Rosaceae (Malus, Pyrus, Sorbus, Cydonia, Rubus, Fragaria). One of the obvious reasons for the abundant domestication might have been the coincidence between the location of the centre of variability of Prunus and the site of human evolution and/or of the first ancient high civilisations of human history. Improvement of fruit trees through traditional breeding methods is a long-term effort because of their lengthy generation time. Thus, new approaches are researched to attain the envisaged breeding goals in a reasonable time frame. Genetic transformation is potentially useful, because specific genetic changes can be made. In the last few years successful examples of resistance breeding against viruses from different plant virus families have been reported, using the coat protein-mediated cross protection approach (Beachy et al., 1990). However, only very few fruit trees have been among these experiments due to the difficulties in transformation protocols. “Cross protection” was originally described as the phenomenon of protection of a plant against the invasion of a severe disease-causing virus due to prior inoculation of the plant with an attenuated virus strain (McKinney, 1929). Hamilton postulated in 1980 that the expression of sequences from the viral genome, if expressed in transgenic plants, could possibly cause a protection against viruses. In fact by the expression of the viral coat protein gene in transgenic plants, similar effects could be obtained, and it was therefore distinguished as coat protein mediated protection (Beachy et al., 1990).
