Maintained Homes Plant Additions Trees Town Hall Meeting Tree Replacement Ken Olson, General Manager Announcements Bob Aiken, Board Member, ARC Chairman • Why a Town Hall Meeting about tree replacement? • The ARC and rules regarding tree replacement. • The Hybrid Palo Verde and trimming or topping issues. Jim Kauth CLWM, CLIA: Management Representative Tree selections Jonathan Manning, Certified Arborist Tree recommendations for residents Acacia Anuera Also known as Mulga Acacia, a slow-growing evergreen that typically grows up to 30 feet tall. During its blooming season in the spring, Acacia aneura produces yellow rod- shaped flowers with prominent yellow stamen. The flowers are a half inch in diameter and will eventually turn into flat pods that are brown. The leaves of the Acacia aneura are silver-gray, thin, and are about three inches in length. Monk’s Pepper Tree Vitex agnus-castus is widely cultivated in warm temperate and subtropical regions for its delicate- textured aromatic foliage and butterfly-attracting mid-summer spikes of lavender flowers opening in late summer in cooler climates. Ash Trees: Bonita Ash Fraxinus velutina ‘Bonita’, an improved selection of the Arizona Ash. It has a long-lasting bright yellow fall color and is a clean tree with no seedpods. The tree can withstand high winds, offers excellent shade and is a low-maintenance tree. Jacaranda Mimosifolia Jacaranda mimosifolia trees originate from Brazil and are admired for their beautiful, vibrant purple blooms in mid to late spring. The purple bell-shaped flowers attract hummingbirds and other pollinators, making this Jacaranda tree a wonderful and colorful addition to any landscape. Jacaranda mimosifolia is drought tolerant once established, has deep roots, and thrives in full sun environments. Fern of the Desert Lysiloma thomberi, this southwest native tree will grow up to 20 feet tall. It blooms creamy white flowers in the spring. This deciduous tree is hardy in Phoenix. Evergreen Elm : Chinese Evergreen Elm Ulmus parvifolia is best characterized by its long, arching branches which provide dense summer shade. This tree makes a beautiful and functional addition to parks, school grounds, and other open areas. Their large size and extensive root systems make them less suitable for small residential landscapes. Texas Mountain Laurel Sophora secundiflora, the Texas mountain laurel is usually a shrub, but it can be trained into an attractive tree with little effort and lots of time. It has glossy evergreen leaves and purple flowers that smell like grape “Kool-Aid” and attract big black carpenter bees. It is drought and cold tolerant. Palo Blanco Acacia willardiana is a Sonoran Desert Native. This might be the best small tree for planting close to structures because it is slow growing and never develops large lateral branches. The bark is smooth and white, and the foliage is sparse and pendulous. Yellow Bird of Paradise Tree Cascalote Caesalpinia Cacalaco Cascaloteis. A favorite winter blooming tree with its bright clear yellow flowers. The Cascalote is related to the summer blooming Red Bird and Mexican Bird of Paradise. This plant can be a large shrub but looks best pruned as a small tree. Cascalotes can reach heights of approximately 15’ with spreads of a comparable size. Large spikes of yellow colored flowers are followed by copper colored seed pods Palo Brea Cercidium Praecox is a gorgeous tree can get 20-30 feet tall, and also keeps its green trunk as it ages. Bright yellow flowers occur from March through May. Blue Paloverde Cercidium floridum is Arizona’s state tree. Bright green or blue-green bark. Seasonal tiny leaves. A spectacular display of yellow flowers in late March or April. Up to 20 feet tall and 25 feet wide. Numerous thorny twigs provide light to moderate shade. Olea Swan Hill Olive This is a non-fruiting and medium growing rounded evergreen. Tiny white flowers in spring. Height and spread 25 to 30 feet. Guaranteed not to produce fruit. Hardy to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Great tree for trimming in fun ways. This tree needs full sun, and once established it needs only occasional watering. Ironwood Olneya tesota is a flowering tree from the legume family. The reason for its common name becomes immediately apparent if you ever tap the trunk with your knuckles. The wood is incredibly dense. The tree is drought-resistant, prefers well-draining soil, full sun, and reflected heat. It is hardy to about twenty degrees Fahrenheit and needs some protection from frosts when young. Do not over-water this tree or plant it with other vegetation that requires a lot of irrigation. Over-watering of the ironwood can cause its demise. This dramatic plant produces very little litter and is relatively easy to grow and maintain. Chilean mesquite This tree outpaces even their fast-growing, native relatives. The trees quickly establish themselves to grow 30 feet tall and wide, with spreading branches. The canopy's symmetry and dome-shaped silhouette fit well in formal landscapes, yet blend effortlessly into informal, native plantings. When the tree's rapid growth rate combines with urban irrigation and fertilizers, the tree can shoot to 50 feet in height, and its aggressive roots take off. The quick growth results in weak branching, and roots wreak havoc with concrete and asphalt. Thevetia preuviana This is a small to medium tree that loves the heat. It thrives in the heat and will bloom in the heat all year long if the winters are warm. Fragrant, yellow to apricot colored flowers can provide a year-round appeal, especially in places such as Arizona, where it’s a landscaping favorite. It’s native to tropical America and does best in frost- free areas. With full sun and low to moderate water use once established, this low maintenance evergreen tree is sure to be a perfect addition to your landscape. Please note it is a poisonous tree. Southern Live Oak This is also known as Quercus virginiana and is an evergreen oak tree native to the southeastern United States. Though many other species are loosely called live oak, the southern live oak is particularly iconic of the Old South. Many very large and old specimens of a live oak can be found today in the deep southern United States. Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) is a severe allergen. Desert Willow Tree Chilopsis linearis is also called Sweet Desert Willow. The desert willow tree is a large deciduous shrub to small tree. Its long narrow leaves are willow-like. Its flowers are fragrant, pink to lavender. They appear in May and keep blooming until late September or frost. It is also native near the waterways in the Mojave Desert. It likes moderate water and sun and grows best in the desert. It is easy to grow for landscaping. Lemon Bottle Brush -Large Bush or Small Tree Callistemon citrunus is an attractive and versatile bottle brush plant that can be used as a shrub or as a medium sized tree. From southeastern Australia, this beautiful plant features striking red flowers that resemble the look of a bottle brush. Though the flowers are bright red, the flowers have a lemony scent, hence the common name. Pollinators, butterflies, and especially hummingbirds are attracted to the fragrant flowers of this fast growing evergreen..

  • Towards Resolving Lamiales Relationships
    Schäferhoff et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:352 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/352 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences Bastian Schäferhoff1*, Andreas Fleischmann2, Eberhard Fischer3, Dirk C Albach4, Thomas Borsch5, Günther Heubl2, Kai F Müller1 Abstract Background: In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional rates or miniaturized genomes. However, understanding the evolution of these phenomena in the order, and clarifying borders of and relationships among lamialean families, has been hindered by largely unresolved trees in the past. Results: Our analysis of the rapidly evolving trnK/matK, trnL-F and rps16 chloroplast regions enabled us to infer more precise phylogenetic hypotheses for the Lamiales. Relationships among the nine first-branching families in the Lamiales tree are now resolved with very strong support. Subsequent to Plocospermataceae, a clade consisting of Carlemanniaceae plus Oleaceae branches, followed by Tetrachondraceae and a newly inferred clade composed of Gesneriaceae plus Calceolariaceae, which is also supported by morphological characters. Plantaginaceae (incl. Gratioleae) and Scrophulariaceae are well separated in the backbone grade; Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae appear in distant clades, while the recently described Linderniaceae are confirmed to be monophyletic and in an isolated position. Conclusions: Confidence about deep nodes of the Lamiales tree is an important step towards understanding the evolutionary diversification of a major clade of flowering plants. The degree of resolution obtained here now provides a first opportunity to discuss the evolution of morphological and biochemical traits in Lamiales.

Abstract: Jacaranda mimosifolia is regarded as a prized ornamental tree in the urban landscape with attractive, abundant and long-lasting violet-colored flowers and graceful tree form. It has been widely cultivated in recent years in many Chinese cities. However, the lack of scientific and practical guidance to cultivate the exotic species has brought about planting failures in some areas, incurring substantial economic losses and landscape decline. A comprehensive understanding of the current spatial pattern and climatic conditions of J. mimosifolia in China can inform species choice, planting and management. We collected data on the geographical coordinates of 257 planting cities and acquired additional information from the literature and field surveys. The limiting factors for cultivation were investigated using principal component analysis (PCA) of 19 bioclimatic parameters Citation: Xie, C.; Zhang, G.; Jim, C.; of the sampled sites.

Don Family: Jacaranda Family (Bignoniaceae) Where to See: Director's bungalow, M and G Blocks Jacaranda in full bloom (Photograph sourced from http://texastreeplanting.tamu.edu/Display_Onetree.aspx?tid=39) 1 A tree near the Director's bungalow (Photo courtesy: Dr Chandrima Shaha) You would not have failed to notice these days a medium-sized tree on our campus that is putting out one of the most spectacular floral displays of any tropical tree. This is the Jacaranda, cultivated for its bluish-lilac ornamental flowers. The genus Jacaranda has 49 species and is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Central America, South America, Cuba, Hispaniola and the Bahamas. However, it has been carried to all parts of the world and is popular as an avenue tree from South Africa to Australia. The city of Grafton in New South Wales, Australia for example, has been holding the annual Jacaranda Festival since 1934 to celebrate the spectacle of hundreds of lilac-blossomed trees lining its streets. The 80th event is being hosted this year during 18 October and 2 November. Featured events include a Jacaranda Ball, Jacaranda Queen Contest, procession of floats, and Jacaranda Fun Run, among others. Pretoria, South Africa is known as ‘Jacaranda City’ because of over 70,000+ flowering Jacaranda trees planted in its streets. 2 Among the events at the Grafton Festival is a Revellers at the 2013Grafton Festival contest to select the Jacaranda Queen (Picture (Picture credit credit http://agent- http://www.jacarandafestival.org.au/image lee.blogspot.in/2011/04/purple-reign-by- s/photo_gallery/2011%20Jacaranda%20Thu corrie-bond.html).
