  • SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes
    North Carolina Cooperative Extension NC STATE UNIVERSITY SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes Pender County Cooperative Extension Urban Horticulture Leaflet 14 Coastal Challenges Plants growing at the beach are subjected to environmental conditions much different than those planted further inland. Factors such as blowing sand, poor soils, high temperatures, and excessive drainage all influence how well plants perform in coastal landscapes, though the most significant effect on growth is salt spray. Most plants will not tolerate salt accumulating on their foliage, making plant selection for beachfront land- scapes particularly challenging. Salt Spray Salt spray is created when waves break on the beach, throwing tiny droplets of salty water into the air. On-shore breezes blow this salt laden air landward where it comes in contact with plant foliage. The amount of salt spray plants receive varies depending on their proximity to the beachfront, creating different vegetation zones as one gets further away from the beachfront. The most salt-tolerant species surviving in the frontal dune area. As distance away from the ocean increases, the level of salt spray decreases, allowing plants with less salt tolerance to survive. Natural Protection The impact of salt spray on plants can be lessened by physically blocking salt laden winds. This occurs naturally in the maritime forest, where beachfront plants protect landward species by creating a layer of foliage that blocks salt spray. It is easy to see this effect on the ocean side of maritime forest plants, which are “sheared” by salt spray, causing them to grow at a slant away from the oceanfront.

  • JUNIPER Juniperus Horizontalis Characteristics Culture Noteworthy
    JUNIPER Juniperus horizontalis Characteristics Type: Needled evergreen Bloom Time: Non-flowering Zone: 3 to 9 Flower: Insignificant Height: 0.25 to 0.50 feet Sun: Full sun Spread: 8.00 to 10.00 feet Water: Medium Bloom Color: Non-flowering Maintenance: Low Culture Grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Adapts to a wide range of soils, but prefers a dryish, sandy soil. Tolerates hot, relatively dry growing conditions, somewhat poor soils and many city air pollutants. Intolerant of wet soils. Noteworthy Characteristics Juniperus horizontalis, commonly called creeping juniper, is a procumbent evergreen shrub that is native to Alaska, Canada and the northern U.S. from New England to New York to the Great Lakes, Wyoming and Montana. Distribution in the northern U.S. is somewhat spotty. It is typically found growing in rocky or sandy soils including rock outcroppings, stony slopes, coastal cliffs, prairies, sand dunes and stream banks. It forms a low groundcover that generally rises to 6-18” tall but spreads by long trailing branches with abundant short branchlets to form an often-dense, 4-10’ wide mat. Foliage is primarily scale-like (adult) with some awl/needle-like (juvenile) needles appearing usually in opposite pairs. Foliage is typically green to blue-green during the growing season, but often acquires purple tones in winter. Fleshy seed cones (dark blue berries) generally mature in two years, but are often absent on cultivated plants. Genus name comes from the Latin name for the juniper. Specific epithet is in obvious reference to the horizontal branches. Problems No serious insect or disease problems.

Authors were Butler faculty, current and former master’s degree students and undergraduates, and other Indiana botanists. The journal was started by Stanley Cain, noted conservation biologist, and edited through most of its years of production by Ray C. Friesner, Butler’s first botanist and founder of the department in 1919. The journal was distributed to learned societies and libraries through exchange. During the years of the journal’s publication, the Butler University Botany Department had an active program of research and student training.

  • Taxonomic Classification
    CMG GardenNotes #122 Taxonomic Classification Outline: Common taxonomic divisions, page 2 Families, page 3 Genus and species, page 3 Variety and cultivar, page 4 Scientific names, page 5 Pronouncing scientific names, page 5 Meaning of Latin names, page 6 Common names, page 6 References on plant taxonomy, page 7 Chart: Examples of taxonomic classification, page 8 One of the most useful classification systems utilizes plant taxonomy. Taxonomy is the science of systematically naming and organizing organisms into similar groups. Plant taxonomy is an old science that uses the gross morphology (physical characteristics, [i.e., flower form, leaf shape, fruit form, etc.]) of plants to separate them into similar groups. Quite often the characteristics that distinguish the plants become a part of their name. For example, Quercus alba is a white oak, named because the underside of the leaf is white. The science of plant taxonomy is being absorbed into the new science of systematics. The development of more sophisticated microscopes and laboratory chemical analyses has made this new science possible. Systematics is based on the evolutionary similarities of plants such as chemical make-up and reproductive features. It should be noted that plant taxonomic classification changes with continuing research, so inconsistencies in nomenclature will be found among textbooks. Do not get caught-up in which is correct, as it is moving target. Rather focus on “are you communicating?” An overview of plant taxonomy helps the gardener understand the basis of many cultural practices.
