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

Amelanchier Canadensis: Shadblow Serviceberry1 Edward F
ENH233 Amelanchier canadensis: Shadblow Serviceberry1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 Introduction Availability: somewhat available, may have to go out of the region to find the tree Downy serviceberry is an upright, twiggy, multi-stemmed large shrub, eventually reaching 20 to 25 feet in height with a spread of 15 to 20 feet. This North American native is usually the first to be noticed in the forest or garden at springtime, the pure white, glistening flowers some of the earliest to appear among the many other dull brown, leafless, and still-slumbering trees. The small white flowers are produced in dense, erect, two- to three-inch-long racemes, opening up to a delicate display before the attrac- tive reddish-purple buds unfold into small, rounded leaves. These leaves are covered with a fine, soft grey fuzz when young, giving the plant its common name, but will mature into smooth, dark green leaves later. Following the blooms are many small, luscious, dark red/purple, sweet and juicy, apple-shaped fruits, often well hidden by the dark green leaves, and which would be popular with people were they not so quickly consumed by birds and other wildlife who seem to find their flavor irresistible.

AmelanchierAmelanchier canadensiscanadensis ShadblowShadblow serviceberry,serviceberry, CanadianCanadian serviceberry,serviceberry, DownyDowny serviceberry,serviceberry, Shadbush,Shadbush, Juneberry,Juneberry, ChuckleberryChuckleberry Amelanchier canadensis(Shadblow serviceberry) is native to South Canada and the eastern United States. The shrub was introduced in Europe in 1746. The Shadblow serviceberry grows up to 5 to 6 metres tall and wide with a finely branched, wide vase-shaped crown. Before the leaves start to sprout, the Amelanchier canadensisblooms bountifully racemes of white flowers that hang over slightly. In late July, it bears red-violet to blue-black fruits that are edible. The leaves are relatively large and bud in a lovely bronze-red. In the summer, the Shadblow serviceberry has green leaves with a grey-green underside. The autumn colours are yellow-orange to brown and less striking than those of other serviceberry shrubs. The species has a preference for sunlight and moist, humous, slightly acidic soil. It will tolerate a temporarily dry environment, as well as strong wind. That makes Amelanchier canadensis very suitable for use in containers and roof gardens.

DIFFERENTIATION OF MESPILUS AND CRATAEGUS, EXPANSION OF ×CRATAEMESPILUS, WITH SUPPLEMENTARY OBSERVATIONS ON DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CRATAEGUS AND AMELANCHIER CLADES JAMES B. PHIPPS Department of Biology, The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario N6A 5B7, Canada; email: [email protected] Abstract The paper argues the position for retaining a monotypic Mespilus, i.e., in the sense of M. germanica, the medlar. Recent cladistic papers lend support for Mespilus being sister to Crataegus, and there is a clear morphological distinction from Cra- taegus, emphasized by adaptation to carnivore frugivory. Mespilus secured, the paper then treats each of the known hybrids between Mespilus and Crataegus, making the new combination Crataemespilus ×canescens (J.B. Phipps) J.B. Phipps. Keywords: Crataemespilus ×canescens (J.B. Phipps) J.B. Phipps comb. nov.; inflorescence position; medlar; Mespilus a folk-genus; Mespilus distinct from Crataegus; Rosaceae; taxonomic history of Mespilus Introduction The author has a long-standing interest in generic delimitation in the Maloid genera of the Rosaceae (Maleae Small, formerly Maloideae C. Weber, Pyrinae Dumort.), as shown particularly in a series of papers with K. Robertson, J. Rohrer, and P.G. Smith (Phipps et al. 1990, 1991; Robertson at al. 1991, 1992; Rohrer at al. 1991, 1994) which treated all 28 genera of Maleae as recognised by us.

Amelanchier Laevis Allegheny Serviceberry1 Edward F
Fact Sheet ST-75 November 1993 Amelanchier laevis Allegheny Serviceberry1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION The Allegheny Serviceberry grows in shade or partial shade as an understory tree (Fig. 1). The small tree grows 30 to 40 feet tall and spreads 15 to 20 feet. Multiple stems are upright and highly branched forming a dense shrub, or if properly pruned a small tree. The tree is short-lived, has a rapid growth rate, and can be used as a filler plant or to attract birds. The main ornamental feature is the white flowers borne in drooping clusters in mid spring. The purplish black berries are sweet and juicy but are soon eaten by birds. The fall color is yellow to red. It is well- adapted for planting beneath power lines due to its small size.

Check List of Ohio Trees
Feb., 1906.] Check List of Ohio Trees. 457 CHECK LIST OF OHIO TREES. JOHN H. SCHAFFNER Ohio lies in the great deciduous forest region which extends from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. This region was formerly one of the grandest woodland areas in the temperate zone. But the forest is rapidly disappearing before the civilization of the white man. In the list given below the introduced species have been marked by the abbreviation "I.", and those which are usually small or shrub-like by "S. T." In attempting to separate "trees" from the larger "shrubs," one must necessarily be some- what arbitrary, as nature draws no definite division line. A tree may be defined as a woody plant of any size which pro- duces naturally one main erect stem with a definite crown of branches; while a shrub is a woody plant which produces small, irregular or slanting stems usually in tufts. The species may develop in various ways depending on the environment. Thus the writer has seen individuals of the poison ivy (Rhus radicans L.) develop as climbers, shrubs, and small "trees" in an area only a few rods in extent, the conditions being favorable for all three modes of growth. In the present list, an attempt has been made to give the appropriate English name for each species. These have mostly been taken from Sudworth's "Check List of the Forest Trees of the United States." Hybrids and mere forms have not been included. Of the 155 species listed as occurring in Ohio, 128 are native and 27 are introduced; about 106 are typical trees and 49 are small trees or shrub-like.
