Deer Resistant Plant List Plants Usually Avoided by Deer for Belvedere Deer resistant plants are not guaranteed to be deer proof, deer palates vary from place to place and during the dry season deer may take a bite of these plants for the moisture content but they are unlikely to destroy the whole plant. Plants that are fertilized or new from the Nursery (high nitrogen) are more attractive to deer, new growth is also tempting. These plants have different cultural requirements so it is best to consult Sunset Western Garden book or your local nursery. This is not a comprehensive list of plants that are deer resistant, there are many more that you can observe around Belvedere. We have arranged these by plant type, it is best to seek out the advice of neighbors and your local nursery.

  • Water-Wise Gardening Guide
    Water-Wise Gardening Guide Water... every drop is precious! Watering Habits A water-wise landscape can be beautiful and it can help you save water too. Do you want to be a wiser water miser? You don’t have to pull out all your plants and start over. Lets begin by examining the way you water. It may surprise you to learn that it is not necessary to water every day. In fact, watering 2-3 times per week may be enough. The key is to water deeply, allowing water to penetrate through the soil and reach plant roots. Your Irrigation System Turn on your sprinkler system and observe. Does it water your plants or the sidewalk? Does water flow into the gutter? If so, you are applying water faster than your soil can absorb it. Turn on your drip irrigation system and observe. Are the emitters clogged? Is water flowing out of the pipe where your emitter should be? Check your emitters weekly, use a filter, and use a pressure regulator on your system. Check Your Soil For lawns–after watering, take a screwdriver and probe it into the soil. If you can push it 6 inches deep, you have watered enough. If you can’t, set your timer to water longer . Then wait a few days and check it again. When the screwdriver can’t go in as deep, it is time to water. For trees and shrubs-after watering, the soil should be wet 2-3 feet deep. If you can easily dig with a shovel, you have watered enough.

Introduction There are approximately 700 identified species of carnivorous plants placed in 15 genera of nine families of dicotyledonous plants (Albert et al. 1992; Ellison & Gotellli 2001; Fleischmann 2012; Rice 2006) (Table 1). In India, a total of five genera of carnivorous plants are reported with 44 species; viz. Utricularia (38 species), Drosera (3), Nepenthes (1), Pinguicula (1), and Aldrovanda (1) (Santapau & Henry 1976; Anonymous 1988; Singh & Sanjappa 2011; Zaman et al. 2011; Kamble et al. 2012). Inter- estingly, northeastern India is the home of all five insectivorous genera, namely Nepenthes (com- monly known as tropical pitcher plant), Drosera (sundew), Utricularia (bladderwort), Aldrovanda (waterwheel plant), and Pinguicula (butterwort) with a total of 21 species. The area also hosts the “ancestral false carnivorous” plant Plumbago zelayanica, often known as murderous plant. Climate Lowland to mid-altitude areas are characterized by subtropical climate (Table 2) with maximum temperatures and maximum precipitation (monsoon) in summer, i.e., May to September (in some places the highest temperatures are reached already in April), and average temperatures usually not dropping below 0°C in winter.

  • Passiflora Incarnata Family: the Passionflower Family, Passifloraceae
    Of interest this week at Beal... Purple Passionflower Passiflora incarnata Family: the Passionflower family, Passifloraceae. Also called May-Pop, and Wild apricot W. J. Beal The purple passionflower, Passiflora incarnata,is an herbaceous vine, native to the Botanical Garden southeast quadrant of North America. It, and its fruit often are called maypops. It is the fruits of passionflowers that provide the most popular of the food uses for the plant, used in drinks and ice creams. But it is the flower, captivating by its complex beauty, and its history as an icon of Christian myth that generate the most interest. There are many passionflower species (Passiflora spp.) and all of them are native to the new world tropics, or near-tropics. Depending on which taxonomy you choose, there are between 400 and 600 species in this genus. The purple passionflower is found farther outside the tropics than any other passionflower. It has been found at least as far north as Missouri in the West and New Jersey in the eastern United States. Although the intricate and striking flowers are beautiful and fragrant, their connection to passion is not over love or romance. Passion, in this context, refers to the Passion of Christ. Spanish Christian missionaries, saw the numerological aspects of the flower as a sign from God that their mission in the New World was God’s will. When the Vatican received the first drawings of the flowers, the clerics reviewing them thought the illustrations were so fanciful as to not be real. It was not until much later, after many missionaries were interviewed, that these unmistakable flowers were accepted as a possibly real organism.

  • Structure, Biology and Chemistry of Plumbago Auriculata (Plumbaginaceae)
    Structure, Biology and Chemistry of Plumbago auriculata (Plumbaginaceae) By Karishma Singh A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biolgical Sciences School of Life Sciences College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science University of Kwa-Zulu Natal Westville Durban South Africa 30 November 2017 i DEDICATION To my daughter Ardraya Naidoo, she has given me the strength and encouragement to excel and be a positive role model for her. “Laying Down the Footsteps She Can Be Proud To Follow” ii ABSTRACT Plumbago auriculata Lam. is endemic to South Africa and is often cultivated for its ornamental and medicinal uses throughout the world. Belonging to the family Plumbaginaceae this species contains specialized secretory structures on the leaves and calyces. This study focused on the micromorphological, chemical and biological aspects of the species. Micromorphological studies revealed the presence of salt glands on the adaxial and abaxial surface of leaves and two types of trichomes on the calyces. “Transefer cells” were reported for the first time in the genus. The secretory process of the salt glands was further enhanced by the presence of mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuoles, dictyosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. Histochemical and phytochemical studies revealed the presence of important secondary metabolites that possess many medicinal properties which were further analyzed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MC) identifying the composition of compounds in the leaf and calyx extracts. A novel attempt at synthesizing silver nanoparticles proved leaf and calyx extracts to be efficient reducing and capping agents that further displayed good antibacterial activity against gram- positive and gram-negative bacteria.

  • Passiflora Tarminiana, a New Cultivated Species of Passiflora Subgenus
    Novon 11(1): 8–15. 2001 Passiflora tarminiana, a new cultivated species of Passiflora subgenus Tacsonia. Geo Coppens d'Eeckenbrugge1, Victoria E. Barney1, Peter Møller Jørgensen2, John M. MacDougal2 1CIRAD-FLHOR/IPGRI Project for Neotropical Fruits, c/o CIAT, A.A. 6713, Cali Colombia 2Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O. Box 299, St Louis, Missouri 63166-0299, U.S.A. Abstract The new species Passiflora tarminiana differs from its closes relative by the character combination of very small acicular stipules and large almost reflexed petals and sepals. This species has escaped detection despite being widely cultivated. Naturalized populations, particularly on Hawa'ii, have created problems for conservation of the native flora. In Colombia it is more frequently adopted in industrial cultivation because of its rusticity and resistance to fungal diseases. Introduction Passifloras of the subgenus Tacsonia are cultivated by many small farmers, from Venezuela to Bolivia. Some species are cultivated in New Zealand. The main cultivated species is Passiflora mollissima (Kunth) Bailey (Escobar, 1980 & 1988), also called P. Coppens et al. 2000 Passiflora tarminiana 2 tripartita var. mollissima (Kunth) Holm-Nielsen & P. Jørgensen (Holm-Nielsen et al., 1988). It is called "curuba de Castilla" in Colombia, "tacso de Castilla" in Ecuador, and “banana passionfruit” in English-speaking countries.. The second species of importance in the Andes is "curuba india," "curuba ecuatoriana," or "curuba quiteña" in Colombia, called "tacso amarillo" in Ecuador (Pérez Arbeláez, 1978; A.A.A., 1992; Campos, 1992). It is most frequently found in private gardens, but some commercial growers have, because of its rusticity, started to grow it instead of the "curuba de Castilla." We describe this overlooked cultigen as a new species under the name Passiflora tarminiana, in recognition of Tarmín Campos, a Colombian agronomist who contributed with enthusiasm to the development of banana passion fruit cultivation and introduced the first author to the cultivated passifloras of the central Colombian highlands.

  • (Liriope Muscari) and Four Perennial Ornamental Grasses to Preemergent Herbicides
    Journal of Applied Horticulture, 9(1): 31-36, January-June, 2007 Appl Tolerance of lilyturf (Liriope muscari) and four perennial ornamental grasses to preemergent herbicides James T. Cole and Janet C. Cole Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078-6027, USA, E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Tolerance of eld- and container-grown lilyturf (Liriope muscari (Decne.)), (Liliaceae) and four species of ornamental grasses (Poaceae), perennial quaking grass (Briza media L.), Japanese bloodgrass (Imperata cylindrica (L.) Beauv. ‘Red Baron’), river oats (Chasmanthium latifolium (Michx.) Yates) and dwarf fountain grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. ‘Hameln’), to ve preemergent herbicides (isoxaben, oryzalin, oxadiazon, oxy uorfen, and prodiamine) was evaluated. Grasses were planted in the fall of 1997 and in the spring of 1998. Herbicides were applied to the fall planting in the spring of 1998. The April, 1998 plantings received herbicide applications within two or 45 days after planting. Herbicides were applied within two days of planting in May and June of 1998. All species in the eld and containers were damaged most by oxy uorfen, followed by oxadiazon; however, injury was not as severe with oxadiazon as with oxy uorfen. The oxadiazon-treated plants recovered more quickly than oxy uorfen-treated plants. Plants were least damaged by prodiamine, oryzalin, and isoxaben. Field-grown Japanese bloodgrass, dwarf fountain grass and lilyturf were generally less damaged when herbicide was applied in June, regardless of planting date or herbicide applied than by the April herbicide application. Prodiamine, oryzalin, or isoxaben caused few phytotoxicity symptoms in the species tested, but oxy uorfen and oxadiazon caused unacceptable injury.

N ESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT Liriope muscari , L. spicata , and Ophiopogon japonicus are documented as naturalized in Alabama, where they occur on wooded slopes, in floodplains and riparian habitats, and in disturbed sites. The occurrences of O. japonicus are the only known instances of naturalization of that species in the USA. Each species is documented by photos of one or more vouchers. KEY WORDS: Liriope , Ophiopogon , naturalized, Alabama Published documentation for the naturalization of Liriope and Ophiopogon in the USA is essentially lacking, although species of both genera are reported to grow outside of cultivation (e.g., Kartesz 2010; USDA, NRCS 2010). To accompany an overview of these genera as cultivated and naturalized in the USA (Nesom 2010), collections of plants naturalized in Alabama are here placed on record. Specimens are from ANNISTON, JSU, and VDB. Many of the Alabama sites with naturalized Liriope (“monkey grass”) and Ophiopogon (“mondo grass”) are wooded slopes with residential or commercial development above. Habitats of naturalized plants are mostly undisturbed along the Cahaba River in Jefferson and Shelby counties (in the middle of Birmingham), along Black Creek at Noccalula Falls (downstream from the park where they were grown in the garden area) in Etowah County, and along the Tennessee River with residential development above in the town of Sheffield in Colbert County.
