  • Lilacs in Montana
    Plant Guide centimeters long. The flowers are mostly white, lilac, LILAC or purple, pleasantly fragrant in long terminal panicles (Copperrider 1995). The fruiting capsules Syringa vulgaris L. are one to 1.5 centimeters long, with flat winged Plant Symbol = SYVU seeds (Bruggen 1976). Contributed by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data Distribution: Common lilac is native of Europe, Center introduced and naturalized in the United States, escapes from cultivation from New York to North Dakota, south to Georgia and Kansas (Steyermark 1963). For current distribution, please consult the Plant profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. Adaptation Lilac is easily grown on most soil types but prefers neutral to slightly acid soil. This species does not tolerate poorly drained soils. It performs best in a warm sunny position. Establishment Propagation by Seed: Lilac seeds should be sown in March, or as soon as they are ripe, in a cold frame. The seeds should be pre-treated for four weeks of warm stratification and then three weeks cold Conservation Trees & Shrubs for Montana stratification to improve germination. Place the USDA, NRCS, Montana State Office seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle. If sufficient growth is made by the Alternative Name summer it is possible to out-plant otherwise grow common lilac seedlings in a cold frame for the first winter and out- plant in late spring the next year. Uses Economic: A green dye is obtained from the flowers Management and the leaves and a yellow-orange dye is obtained Common lilac should be planted in areas with good from the twigs (Grae 1974).

  • Living Snow Fences
    Living Snow Fences Species Matrix for New York State Justin P. Heavey Timothy A. Volk Forest & Natural Resource Management SUNY ESF Syracuse, NY 2012 Living Snow Fences Species Matrix for New York State Living Snow Fences Species Matrix Species selection is an important step in the design of effective and efficient living snow fences. A species matrix assists in the plant selection process for living snow fences by providing a pallete of suitable species, and a summary of relevant plant traits to compare and contrast species. Recent research at SUNY ESF has built on previous research (Tabler, 2003) and identified key plant traits for living snow fences. Twenty-eight species that possess the traits relevant to living snow fences have been identified and included in this plant matrix. These species are tolerant to a variety of roadside conditions across New York State, and possess the traits necessary to achieve adequate snow trapping and snow storage capabilities. Every plant species is unique, and this matrix is therefore intended as a selection tool to compare and contrast a variety of plants for living snow fences within the context of design goals and site conditions. Plant Traits for Living Snow Fences The morphological traits of height and stem density are the two most important factors influencing the function of living snow fences. Mature height should be at least eight feet to achieve adequate snow storage capacity. Stem density should be 40-60% to achieve optimal snow trapping efficiency and drift shape. Deciduous shrubs and evergreen trees are most suitable for expressing these traits in the landscape.
