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

S M Acer Saccharinum L
S M Acer saccharinum L. bundant in some localities, silver A maple is a common tree, found throughout the state except along the coast. It grows largely on sandy banks along streams, usually attaining a height of 60–80 feet and a diameter of 2–3 feet. The trunk normally separates into 3 or 4 upright secondary stems, devoid of branches for some distance. The branches are long and slender, often pendulous. The bark on young trees is smooth, gray, slightly tinged with red. On old trees, it is reddish-brown, fur- rowed, and separated into large thin scales that are loose at the bottom.Twigs are chestnut brown and shiny. The leaves are opposite, deeply In Maine, silver maple is most five-lobed; and the edges are irregular common along major rivers. and sharply toothed. The upper surface is pale green, the lower, silvery white. They turn a pale yellow in fall. 76 SILVER MAPLE E L P A M The flowers are on very short stalks and in clusters. They are green- ish-yellow or sometimes pinkish, open- ing early, long before the leaves appear. The fruit is paired, winged and ripens in spring. Frequently, one of the pair does not fully develop. The twigs are curved upward at the tip, orange or red-brown above and green below, slender, with a bitter taste and a rank odor when broken.

Acer Saccharinum: Silver Maple1 Edward F
ENH-207 Acer saccharinum: Silver Maple1 Edward F. Gilman, Dennis G. Watson, Ryan W. Klein, Andrew K. Koeser, Deborah R. Hilbert and Drew C. McLean2 Introduction Silver maple has a vase shape and is a rapidly growing, fairly weak-wooded tree that reaches a height of 60 to 80 feet with a 5- to 6- foot diameter trunk on a moist site. The tree is useful in wet areas, transplants easily, and can grow where few others can. It should be saved for planting in wet areas or where nothing else will thrive. Roots often grow on the surface of the soil, making mowing grass difficult under the canopy. They also are aggressive, growing into septic tank drain fields and into broken water and sewer pipes. It is also hard to plant shrubs and other plants beneath the branches due to the dense root system. General Information Scientific name: Acer saccharinum Pronunciation: AY-ser sack-uh-RYE-num Common name(s): silver maple Family: Sapindaceae USDA hardiness zones: 3A through 9B (Figure 2) Origin: native to eastern half of the United States and southeastern Canada UF/IFAS Invasive Assessment Status: native Uses: urban tolerant; shade; reclamation Figure 1.

Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

Acer Saccharum Marsh
Sugar Maple Species information Scientific Name: Acer saccharum Marsh. Family: Sapindaceae Conservation Status: Least concern Native to: Quebec to Florida and west to Texas Habitat Type: generously moist, fertile land uncrowded by other planting Description: When mature, it grows up 60’ – 100’ (18 – 30m) in height. In the spring, Sugar Maples blossom with yellow flowers. Leaves are three- to five-lobed, palmate and arranged opposite. In autumn, they turn to striking vivid orange, gold, and crimson. Bark is grayish brown with shallow fissures. Fruit is a double samara with wings. Ethnobotany: Sugar Maple, whose leaf appears on Canadian flag, is a very significant tree to New England. It is important historically and economically for the production of maple syrup and timber. Ecology: This species is one of the most shade tolerant trees of North American maples. Similarly to Striped Maple, Sugar Maple can germinate and persist in closed canopy and then react with rapid growth to an opening. Moreover, Sugar Maples can draw water from lower soil layers and bringing it up to upper layers. In some areas, this species is being replaced with invasive Norway Maple which is more tolerant to urban conditions. Excerpts from literature on sugaring and its history in New England: Rasles, Sebastienn. Lettres edifiantes et curieuses (1718) in Nearing, Helen and Scott. The Maple Sugar Book. (New York: J. Day. Co., 1950): “There is no lack of sugar in these forests. In the spring the maple-trees contain a fluid resembling that which the canes of the island contain. The women busy themselves in receiving in into vessels of bark, when it trickles from these trees; they boil it, and obtain from it a fairly good sugar.” Burroughs, John.

'Firefall'tm Freeman Maple
HORTSCIENCE 40(1):269–271. 2005. ‘Firefall’TM Freeman Maple Steve McNamara,1 Kathy Zuzek,1 Nancy Rose,2 Harold Pellett,3 and Stan C. Hokanson4 University of Minnesota Department of Horticultural Science and Landscape Arboretum, 1970 Folwell Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55108 Additional index words. Acer ×freemanii, plant breeding, tree cultivar, seedless Freeman maples (Acer ×freemani E. Mur- ray) are interspeciﬁ c hybrids of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) and silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) (Bachtell, 1988; Freeman, 1941). Over the past decade, cultivars of freeman maple have become increasingly popular landscape trees because they purportedly combine the attrac- tive form, ﬂ owers, and foliar characteristics of superior red maple genotypes with the faster growth rate and broader environmental adaptability of silver maple (Bachtell, 1988). However, when planted in USDA zone 4a (United States National Arboretum, 2003), many of the commercially available cultivars of freeman maple fail to develop an attractive fall foliage display before the occurrence of a killing frost. Although the pedigrees of these cultivars are unknown (Santamour, 1993), their poor fall color display in northern re- gions is likely related to their more southerly provenances. In trials in Maryland, red maple seedlings from northern provenances typically colored earlier in the fall than those of more southerly origin (Townsend and Douglass, 1998). Controlled hybridization of superior red maple genotypes of far northern provenances with hardy silver maples could be expected Fig. 1. Three 8-year-old ‘Firefall’ freeman maples to yield freeman maple seedlings suitable for grown in Chanhassen, Minn. (photographed northern regions of the country both in terms of September 1998).
