  • Camellia Sinensis • Use: Almost Everyone Drinks Tea Without Really
    Camellia sinensis Use: Almost everyone drinks tea without really thinking about it, not re- alizing that the leaves themselves are actually from a well known garden plant, the Camellia. Camellia sinensis var sinensis originates from China where it naturally grows on moist mountain slopes in fertile acidic soils. Yes you can harvest the leaves to make a refreshing cup of tea. These plants were grown using organic practices. Exposure: Prefers sheltered site, part sunny or medium shade, and any well drained neutral/acid soil. Extreme summer heat may cause leaf burn; needs some shade if planted near a white house due to reflection of sun. Growth: Moderate growing to 8-10’ tall and 6-8’ wide. Can be kept as short as 4-5’ tall for easy harvesting. Hardiness: Zone 7-10; Shrub Foliage: Evergreen, glossy. You can make both green tea or black tea the dif- ference is in how you dry the leaves. Green tea is dried right after harvesting, while black tea is crushed and allowed to oxidize. What's most exciting about those leaves, is that you can pick them and make your own tea. Flower: It blooms in late fall and winter, white flowers illuminating the sleepy You'll have a great conversation–starter with winter landscape. You can even surprise your dinner guests with fresh floral visitors, and the coolest homemade present. tablescapes. Prune only right after blooms fade if you want flowers every year. .

  • Pollinator Gardening
    HOME & GARDEN INFORMATION http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic HGIC 1727 1-888-656-9988 CENTER Pollinator Gardening In 2007, the U.S. Senate designated a week in June as National Pollinator Week to increase the general public’s awareness of the importance of pollinators to food production. What is pollination? Pollination is the movement of pollen from the male flower part (anther) to the female flower part (stigma) on the same plant or between two plants of the same species. Proper pollination is critical for the development of many fruits and crops. These are the parts of a flower. Walker Massey, Clemson University A Monarch butterfly, bumble bee & honey bee on a Sunflower Approximately one third of the food that ends up on (Helianthus annuus). Millie Davenport, ©2015 HGIC, Clemson Extension a plate is there because of pollinators. When pollination is mentioned, most people think of Planting a pollinator garden will encourage the honey bees but there are so many other insects that presence of native pollinators. Like all living things, help get the job done such as native bees, beetles, pollinators need food, shelter, and water. Start by flies, wasps and butterflies. selecting a sunny area in the landscape and evaluating the area for existing nest sites, nectar Of these, bees are a very important group for sources and habitat. Then add plant species to the pollination because they deliberately harvest pollen area that will increase nectar and pollen sources for to feed their offspring; they visit similar flower pollinator insects through the spring, summer and species per foraging trip and accidentally transfer fall months.

  • Some of the Best Vines and Ground Covers for Massachusetts Gardens**
    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 13 MARCH 6, 1953 NUMBERS 1-2 SOME OF THE BEST VINES AND GROUND COVERS FOR MASSACHUSETTS GARDENS** the past two years, two issues of Arnoldia have dealt with some of DURINGthe best shrubs and trees for Massachusetts gardens. (Arnoldia 11 : No. 1, March 9, 1951 ; Vol. 11 : No. 1, March 7, 195~?~. This issue, dealing with vines and ground covers will complete this series. Everything which was said in those bulletins on what constitutes "the best" and how such plants are chosen, is also applicable here to the vines and ground covers. It should be re-emphasized here however, that nothing is implied in the following discussions of the selected types, that would indicate some of the others listed on pages 18 and 19 are not just as serviceable. The recommended ones might be used considerably more than they are at present. It is especially important to note that each plant in the following list is avail- able from at least one of the listed nurserymen. It was impossible to contact all the nurserymen in the state, so there are undoubtedly many other sources in the state for these plants. Since they are available, your local nurseryman can obtain them for you, if he will. Glowing descriptions of plants that are unobtainable may play on the imagina- tion, but it is useless to become enthusiastic about them until they are obtain- able. Each one of these listed is available in 1953. Consequently, the gardeners of the state are urged to become better acquainted with these vines and ground covers, buy a few that are hardy and in this way increase the beauty and interest of the home grounds.

  • Taming the Wild Stewartia©
    1 Boland-Tim-2019B-Taming-Stewartia Taming the Wild Stewartia© Timothy M. Boland and Todd J. Rounsaville Polly Hill Arboretum, 809 State Road, West Tisbury, Massachusetts 02575, USA [email protected] Keywords: Asexual propagation, native trees, plant collections, seeds, Stewartia SUMMARY The Polly Hill Arboretum (PHA) began working with native stewartia in 1967. Our founder, Polly Hill, was devoted to growing trees from seed. In 2006, the Polly Hill Arboretum was recognized as the Nationally Accredited Collection holder for stewartia. This status has guided our collection development, particularly on focused seed expeditions, which began in 2007. The PHA has been successful growing both species from seed, however, overwintering survival and transplanting of juvenile plants has proved more challenging. New insights into winter storage of seedlings is beginning to shed light on this problem. Experimentation with overwintering rooted cuttings has revealed that plants have preferred temperature and chilling requirements. These new overwintering protocols have thus far yielded positive results. Recent work with tissue culture has also shown promising results with both species. Future work includes grafting superior clones of our native stewartia onto Asiatic species in an effort to overcome the problematic issues of overwintering, transplantability, and better resistance to soil borne pathogens. Our Plant Collections Network (PCN) development plan outlines our next phase work with stewartia over the upcoming several years. The results of this work will be shared in future years as we continue to bring these exceptional small flowering trees into commercial production. 2 INTRODUCTION The commitment to building Polly Hill Arboretum’s (PHA) stewartia collection is based on our founder Polly Hill’s history with the genus and our own desire to encourage the cultivation of these superb small-flowering trees in home gardens.

  • Native Trees of Georgia
    1 NATIVE TREES OF GEORGIA By G. Norman Bishop Professor of Forestry George Foster Peabody School of Forestry University of Georgia Currently Named Daniel B. Warnell School of Forest Resources University of Georgia GEORGIA FORESTRY COMMISSION Eleventh Printing - 2001 Revised Edition 2 FOREWARD This manual has been prepared in an effort to give to those interested in the trees of Georgia a means by which they may gain a more intimate knowledge of the tree species. Of about 250 species native to the state, only 92 are described here. These were chosen for their commercial importance, distribution over the state or because of some unusual characteristic. Since the manual is intended primarily for the use of the layman, technical terms have been omitted wherever possible; however, the scientific names of the trees and the families to which they belong, have been included. It might be explained that the species are grouped by families, the name of each occurring at the top of the page over the name of the first member of that family. Also, there is included in the text, a subdivision entitled KEY CHARACTERISTICS, the purpose of which is to give the reader, all in one group, the most outstanding features whereby he may more easily recognize the tree. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express his appreciation to the Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers of Sargent’s Manual of the Trees of North America, for permission to use the cuts of all trees appearing in this manual; to B. R. Stogsdill for assistance in arranging the material; to W.
