Deer Proof Plant Lists Table of Contents (Click on Sections) Annuals & Herbaceous Perennials Trees & Shrubs Vines, Groundcovers & Ferns Grasses, Sedges & Rushes Plants that deer will pass by! Deer keep eating all of my plants! What can I do? One of the most difficult landscape problems to address is damage from wildlife. The white- tailed deer herd in Mississippi, and the southeastern US, has grown dramatically since the early 1990’s and is continuing to expand. Deer damage is especially difficult because they can consume most of the ‘desirable’ plants in a single night. Repellents are not very effective and require frequent application. Exclusion requires the installation of expensive and unsightly fencing. Plant selection is usually the best option for preventing white-tailed deer damage. There are no plants that deer will not eat if they get hungry enough! But, there are lots of options that they will avoid most of the time. This program helps you pick out great plants that deer won’t damage. Just look for the Deer Proof logo on plants at your local garden center. The list of plants that can carry the Deer Proof label was based on University recommendations from across the country and experience from nursery and landscape professionals! It’s as easy as 1-2-3! Just go to the plants with the logo!!! Support Local Growers!

    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

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

    Academia Journal of Medicinal Plants 6(12): 437-445, December 2018 DOI: 10.15413/ajmp.2018.0186 ISSN: 2315-7720 ©2018 Academia Publishing Research Paper A review of Goji berry (Lycium barbarum) in Traditional Chinese medicine as a promising organic superfood and superfruit in modern industry Accepted 3rd December, 2018 ABSTRACT Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years by different generations in China and other Asian countries as foods to promote good health and as drugs to treat disease. Goji berry (Lycium barbarum), as a Chinese traditional herb and food supplement, contains many nutrients and phytochemicals, such as polysaccharides, scopoletin, the glucosylated precursor, amino acids, flaconoids, carotenoids, vitamins and minerals. It has positive effects on anitcancer, antioxidant activities, retinal function preservation, anti-diabetes, immune function and anti-fatigue. Widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, Goji berries can be sold as a dietary supplement or classified as nutraceutical food due to their long and safe traditional use. Modern Goji pharmacological actions improve function and enhance the body ,s ability to adapt to a variety of noxious stimuli; it significantly inhibits the generation and spread of cancer cells and can improve eyesight and increase reserves of muscle and liver glycogens which may increase human energy and has anti-fatigue effect. Goji berries may improve brain function and enhance learning and memory. It may boost the body ,s adaptive defences, and significantly reduce the levels of serum cholesterol and triglyceride, it may help weight loss and obesity and treats chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. At Mohamad Hesam Shahrajabian1,2, Wenli present, they are considered functional food with many beneficial effects, which is Sun1,2 and Qi Cheng1,2* why they have become more popular recently, especially in Europe, North America and Australia, as they are considered as superfood with highly nutritive and 1 Biotechnology Research Institute, antioxidant properties.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • Mountain Laurel Or Rhododendron? Recreation Area Vol
    U.S. Dept. of the Interior National Park Service . Spanning the Gap The newsletter of Delaware Water Gap National Mountain Laurel or Rhododendron? Recreation Area Vol. 7 No. 2 Summer 1984 These two members of the plant kingdom are often confused. Especially before they blossom, they resemble each other with their bushy appearance and long, dark-green leaves. Both plants ARE shrubs, and they are often seen growing together. Another thing they have in common: although some species have not been proven dangerous, it is well to consider ALL members of the laurel- (Above) Rhodendron. rhododendron-azalea group of plants as potentially toxic. The rhododendron (rhododenron maximum) is undoubtedly the most conspicuous understory plant in the mountain forests of Pennsylvania. In ravines and hollows and along shaded watercourses it often grows so luxuriantly as to form almost impenetrable tangles. In June or early July, large clusters of showy blossoms, ranging from white to light rosy- pink, appear at the ends of the branchlets. People travel many miles to witness the magnificent show which is provided by the rhododendron at flowering time. In the southern Appalachians the plant grows much larger than it ordinarily does in this area, often becoming a tree 25 feet or more in height. The dense thickets of rhododendron in the stream valleys and on the lower slopes of our mountains are favorite yarding grounds for deer when the Rhodendron. snows become deep in the wintertime. The dark- green, leathery leaves react to subfreezing temperatures by bending downward and rolling into a tight coil. Although the shrub is often browsed to excess, it has little or no nutritional value.

  • Americus, Georgia
    July 2004 Rev. 1 Jimmy Carter Plant Materials Center Americus , Georgia WETLAND PLANTS SELECTED for CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS and STORMWATER SYSTEMS Wetland Plants Selected for Constructed Wetlands and Stormwater Systems From the Plant Materials Specialist Notebook This publication provides specific information on wetland plants for stormwater constructed wetlands. It contains recommendations for selection of wetland vegetation for stormwater management systems. The wetland plant technology was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Jimmy Carter Plant Materials Center in Americus, Georgia. The Jimmy Carter Plant Materials Center located in Americus, Georgia, has released `Restorer´ giant bulrush, Scirpus californicus and `Wetlander´ giant cutgrass, Zizaneopsis miliacea as new proven wetland native plant materials for constructed wetlands, and both are available from commercial nurseries. Stormwater wetlands perform by temporarily storing stormwater runoff in shallow pools that create favorable growing conditions for emergent and riparian wetland plants. The stormwater storage, contact area, microtopography, and the emergent plants together form an ideal matrix for the removal of pollutants normally associated with urban development. Emergent wetland vegetation such as, `Restorer´ giant bulrush, Scirpus californicus, Maidencane, Panicum hemitomon and blue flag iris, Iris versicolor, canna lily, canna spp, are quite attractive and provide adequate removal of contaminants. The use of constructed wetlands for stormwater quality control has attracted a great deal of attention. The 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act focused attention on urban runoff. Stormwater (runoff) is the surface and ground water that results from precipitation. In developed areas, urban stormwater is the major component of sewer and stream flows. Stormwater runoff from parking lots, roofs, contains fertilizer, pesticides, animal waste, oil, grease, heavy metals, and other potential pollutants.
