DOI:10.15835/nbha4229611 Cutting Type and IBA Treatment Duration Affect Teucrium fruticans Adventitious Root Quality Leo SABATINO, Fabio D’ANNA, Giovanni IAPICHINO* University of Palermo, Department of Agricultural and Forest Sciences, Viale delle Scienze, 90128, Palermo, Italy; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] (*corresponding author) Abstract Root development of stem cuttings of Silver Germander (Teucrium fruticans) was investigated in relation to cutting type and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) treatment. Terminal cuttings of a clone grown in Sicily were trimmed to three types: terminal cuttings with apex (TWA), terminal cuttings without apex (TWOA) or sub-terminal cuttings (ST). To verify the cutting response to exogenous auxin, cuttings were dipped to a 2.0 cm depth in a 0.5% indole-3-butyric acid solution for 0, 5 or 7 minutes. Overall percent survival was 97 to 98%. Rooting percent, root number and root length were affected by cutting type and indole-3-butyric acid treatment. In general, TWA cuttings demonstrated a higher capacity to form roots than cuttings without apex (TWOA and ST cuttings). In absence of indole-3-butyric acid treatment, TWA and ST cuttings gave higher rooting percentages than TWOA cuttings. Exposing cuttings to indole-3-butyric acid improved percent rooting, number of roots per cutting and root length. The best results in terms of rooting percentage and root number per cuttings were obtained with TWA cuttings in combination with 7 min indole-3-butyric acid basal dip.

  • A Guide to Some of the Shrubs Currently
    305 Syringa vulgaris (lilac) The name suggested needs to be checked as it is quite likely this is a hybrid or cultivar at the very least, but S. vulgaris at least in part is likely. It is a deciduous shrub that has gone in and out of fashion over the years. It is deciduous and has spectacular flowering from mid spring for about a month and then blends back into the shrubbery. This example is in the Betula Border, about midway and can be seen at its best around early October. There are now no other lilacs on campus. I suspect this one was planted early on, possibly in the late 1950’s or early 1960’s. A large spreading shrub of around 4metres in height and spread. Both of the above photos were taken on 15th October 2008. 306 Telopea oreades This is an evergreen shrub at the south western end of the pond at the Amenity Area. It has been relatively slow growing in this site, planted during the 1990’s and is currently about 3m in height. To the best of my knowledge, this plant has not flowered yet. It appears perfectly hardy in the relatively open site it occupies. An upright growing evergreen shrub native to south east Australia Leaves are simple, alternately arranged, oblanceolate, petiolate, mostly entire. 307 Teucrium chamaedrys (wall germander) There are two places on campus where these low growing sub-shrubs are growing. One is on the east side of the Wine Lab. near the north west corner of the Horticultural Teaching lab., the other is opposite the south west side of the southern entrance to the Commerce Building near Farm Road at the base of a sycamore tree.

    Jerusalem Sage* Phlomis fruticosa Plant Height: 3 feet Flower Height: 4 feet Spread: 3 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 6b Description: An interesting clump forming perennial with dense whorls of bright yellow flowers that rise tall on the stems; silvery gray-green woolly leaves are interesting all season; woody and evergreen in zone 8 to 9, but restarts from the ground in colder climates Jerusalem Sage flowers Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Ornamental Features Jerusalem Sage features bold spikes of yellow hooded flowers rising above the foliage from late spring to early summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its serrated narrow leaves remain grayish green in color throughout the year. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Jerusalem Sage is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cut back to the ground in late winter before active growth resumes. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics. Jerusalem Sage is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Mass Planting Jerusalem Sage flowers - General Garden Use Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Planting & Growing Jerusalem Sage will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity extending to 4 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 3 feet. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.
