    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. 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

  • Non-Native Trees and Large Shrubs for the Washington, D.C. Area

AREA ­ Non-native trees are some of the most beloved plants in the landscape due to their beauty. In addition, these trees are grown for the shade, screening, structure, and landscape benefits they provide. Deciduous trees, whose leaves die and fall off in the autumn, are valuable additions to landscapes because of their changing interest throughout the year. Evergreen trees are valued for their year-round beauty and shelter for wildlife. Evergreens are often grouped into two categories, broadleaf evergreens and conifers. Broadleaf evergreens have broad, flat leaves. They also may have showy flowers, such as Camellia oleifera (a large shrub), or colorful fruits, such as Nellie R. Stevens holly. Coniferous evergreens either have needle-like foliage, such as the lacebark pine, or scale-like foliage, such as the green giant arborvitae. Conifers do not have true flowers or fruits but bear cones. Though most conifers are evergreen, exceptions exist. Dawn redwood, for example, loses its needles each fall. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) - a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Gold’. A variety (var.) or subspecies (subsp.), in contrast, is found in nature and is a subdivision of a species (a variety of Cedar of Lebanon is listed). Full Shade - the amount of light under a dense deciduous tree canopy or beneath evergreens. Full Sun - at least 6 hours of sun daily.

  • Morphology and Morphogenesis of the Seed Cones of the Cupressaceae - Part II Cupressoideae
    1 2 Bull. CCP 4 (2): 51-78. (10.2015) A. Jagel & V.M. Dörken Morphology and morphogenesis of the seed cones of the Cupressaceae - part II Cupressoideae Summary The cone morphology of the Cupressoideae genera Calocedrus, Thuja, Thujopsis, Chamaecyparis, Fokienia, Platycladus, Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Cupressus and Juniperus are presented in young stages, at pollination time as well as at maturity. Typical cone diagrams were drawn for each genus. In contrast to the taxodiaceous Cupressaceae, in Cupressoideae outgrowths of the seed-scale do not exist; the seed scale is completely reduced to the ovules, inserted in the axil of the cone scale. The cone scale represents the bract scale and is not a bract- /seed scale complex as is often postulated. Especially within the strongly derived groups of the Cupressoideae an increased number of ovules and the appearance of more than one row of ovules occurs. The ovules in a row develop centripetally. Each row represents one of ascending accessory shoots. Within a cone the ovules develop from proximal to distal. Within the Cupressoideae a distinct tendency can be observed shifting the fertile zone in distal parts of the cone by reducing sterile elements. In some of the most derived taxa the ovules are no longer (only) inserted axillary, but (additionally) terminal at the end of the cone axis or they alternate to the terminal cone scales (Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Juniperus). Such non-axillary ovules could be regarded as derived from axillary ones (Microbiota) or they develop directly from the apical meristem and represent elements of a terminal short-shoot (Tetraclinis, Juniperus).

  • Chinese Juniper Introduced (Juniperus Chinensis) Plant Pages: Map #41 Family: Cupressaceae Trees & Shrubs
    Small Tree/ Large Shrub Evergreen Chinese Juniper Introduced (Juniperus chinensis) Plant Pages: Map #41 Family: Cupressaceae Trees & Shrubs Awl-shaped Scale-like Leaves: two types of needles - the juvenile are awl-shaped, the adult are interlocking scales arranged in squarish ranks; grayish green. Bark: gray-brown, ridged and furrowed coming off in thin strips. Flowers: male and female on separate plants. Cones: male numerous, yellowish brown on older growth; female ripening in two years, at first whitish blue and “bloomy”, turning brown when ripe. Habit: Tree or shrub, tall and erect or low and bushy. Much variation among the culti- vars. Culture: full sun, moist but well-drained soil until established, then tolerates much drier conditions, tolerates alkaline soil. As with most junipers, may be infected by Pho- mopsis blight, a fungal disease of the new growth especially if watered overhead and/or in too much shade. Cultivars: There are so many cultivars some of which could possibly be separate species and sometimes are referred to as J. x media. Possibly the oldest is ‘Pfitzeriana’ ‘Pfitzeriana’. It is definitely the most extensively planted. Grows 5’ by 20 ‘ and probably more. ‘Pfitzeriana compacta’ is only 12—18” tall by 6’ wide. Other common and useful cultivars include ‘Ames’ - silver blue low spreading maturing to a broad pyramidal shape; ‘Hetzii’ - upright, spreading, branches in all directions 10’ x 15’; ‘Hooks’ - tight pyramid 12’ x 3’; ’Iowa’ - a loose pyramid of blue-green, less compact than ’Ames’; ‘Maney’ - bushy, erect. Bluish, 6’ x 12’;, ‘Mint Julep’ - bright green and fountain-like 4’ x 6’; ‘Sea Green’ - may be the same as ‘Mint Julep’.

  • Approved Plant List
    Approved Plant List Facts to Know INTRODUCTION: The Approved Tree and Plant List has been complied by highly-qualified experts in the field of horticulture and High Plains native plants, and it includes hundreds of species of plants and trees that are suited to the city’s environment. The list is to be used by property owners, developers, and the city as a standard for selecting native and adapted plant species to minimize maintenance costs, conserve water, and improve longevity. The following pages contain city-approved street tree species, prohibited species, and information regarding invasive species. This information should be used when preparing or updating a landscape plan. If you have any specific questions about this document, please contact the Community Development Department at 303-289-3683. Emerald Ash Borer Please be advised that Ash Borer (Pdodsesia syringae Harris) infestation concerns have been raised by the U.S. Forest Service and by Colorado State University for Ash trees along the Front Range and within Commerce City. The Ash Borer is an exotic insect from Asia that has been found feeding on Ash trees in the area. This insect feeds on all Ash species and can kill trees in one to three years. Therefore, in 2010 Commerce City’s Planning and Parks Planning Divisions issued a temporary, but indefinite, restriction on the use of Ash trees for developments within the city. The city’s policy regarding Ash trees is as follows: 1. Ash trees will not be approved for use in: • Any tree lawn or other right-of-way plantings that are associated with Site Plans, Development Plans, or Improvement Plans.

The main problems that arise during vibrational measurements were scatter and saturation issues in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and fluorescence and penetration depth issues in Raman. Single pollen grains larger than approx. 15 µm can be measured by FTIR microspectroscopy using conventional light sources, while smaller grains may be measured by employing synchrotron light sources.
