  • 'Ivory Silk' Japanese Tree Lilac
    Fact Sheet ST-611 October 1994 Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Although a Lilac, this member of the species is quite different in appearance than those with which gardeners are more familiar (Fig. 1). Its upright habit varies from symmetrical to irregular but is more consistent than the species. Cultivars including ‘Ivory Silk’ and ‘Summer Snow’ could be used instead of the species due to the more consistent habit and more flowers. ‘Ivory Silk’ grows well only in USDA hardiness zones 3 through six (perhaps into 7) and has an oval or pyramidal form when young but spreads to a rounded shape as it grows older. This is a very large shrub or small tree, reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet with a 15-foot-spread. The huge clusters of creamy white flowers, borne in early summer for about two weeks, are the main ornamental feature but lack the fragrance of the spring-blooming Lilacs -- this Lilac’s fragrance is more suggestive of Privet. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’ Pronunciation: sih-RING-guh reh-tick-yoo-LAY-tuh Common name(s): ‘Ivory Silk’ Japanese Tree Lilac Family: Oleaceae Figure 1.

  • Maple-Leaf Viburnum (Viburnum Acerifolium)
    Information Sheet – Maple-leaf Viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium) Maple-leaf Viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium) is a low, densely branched shrub that grows to 4-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. This attractive native shrub is often planted as an ornamental due to its bright to dark green, deciduous foliage that turns a colorful purplish-pink in the fall. In addition, showy flat-topped clusters of white flowers in spring are followed by blue-black berries in the late summer and fall. Maple-leaf Viburnum is adaptable to a wide range of light and soil conditions. This adaptability makes it a useful plant in home landscapes that have areas with dry soil and deep shade. This outstanding native shrub is also often planted for its high wildlife value – its berries are eaten by birds and its flowers are nectar sources for bees and butterflies. This plant is also a larval host to several butterfly and moth species, to include the Spring Azure. Care of your shrub or small tree: It is important to get your shrub off to a good start by planting it properly in accordance with the instructions on the reverses of this sheet. After planting, maintain a grass and weed-free area around the base of the young shrub. Use organic mulch around the base of the trees approximately three feet out from the trunk. Pine bark and pine needle mulches are very good, straight wood mulch is not. Avoid the use of non-organic mulches, which can cause the soil around the shrub to stay excessively wet.

Willaman & Martha Haas Valentine Endowed Plant Protection Intern (2016-2017) This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/morrisarboretum_internreports/10 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Management of the Viburnum Leaf Beetle at the Morris Arboretum Abstract Pyrrhalta viburni (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), or the viburnum leaf beetle (VLB), is an invasive pest on viburnums in North America, where native species of the plant have little natural resistance. Resistance can be conferred by leaf texture, leaf chemistry, or a wound response that crushes VLB eggs. The beetle does not immediately kill host plants, but repeated defoliation is fatal after several years. Because viburnum is a common forest and landscape plant in the eastern United States, VLB is a serious concern. The Morris Arboretum has a large collection of viburnums, including many native and non-native species. While VLB had already been observed in passing, this project included a thorough baseline survey of VLB damage throughout the Arboretum. Data were collected for the number of twigs infested with VLB, the number of cavities on each twig, and whether a wound response had been produced.

  • Nannyberry (Viburnum Lentago)
    BWSR Featured Plant Name: Nannyberry (Viburnum lentago) Plant Family: Caprifoliaceae Statewide Wetland Indicator Status: Great Plains – FACU Nannyberry is a shrub that is both beautiful and Midwest – FAC versatile. This shade-tolerant, woody plant has flat N. Cent. N. East – FAC topped white flowers, fruit that is used by a wide variety of birds and wildlife, and vibrant fall color. Frequently used as a landscaping plant, it is successful as a tall barrier and wind break. Its ability to function as both a small tree and multi-stemmed shrub and ability to adapt to many environmental conditions makes it well suited to buffer planting and other soil stabilization projects. Flat-topped flower clusters and finely serrated leaves Identification This native shrub can be identified by its pointed buds, unique flowers, and fruit. Growing to around twelve feet tall in open habitats, the species commonly produces suckers and multiple stems. The newest branches are light green in color and glabrous and buds narrow to a point. With age, the branches become grey, scaly and rough. The egg-shaped leaves are simple and opposite with tips abruptly tapering to a sharp point. Leaf surfaces are shiny, dark green and hairless with reddish finely serrated margins. Fall color is a vibrant dark red. Numerous dense, flat-topped flower heads appear and bloom from May to June. Flowers are creamy white and bell to saucer-shaped. The flowers develop into elliptical berry-like drupes that turn a blue-black color from July to August. The Multi-stemmed growth form sweet and edible fruit is used by a variety of wildlife species but has a wet wool odor when decomposing, thus its alternate name – Sheepberry.

  • EIGHT REASONS for REMOVING AMUR HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera Maackii)
    EIGHT REASONS FOR REMOVING AMUR HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera maackii) 1. Amur Honeysuckle is one of the first shrubs to “leaf out” in the spring. It shades the forest floor just when native spring ephemerals must have sunshine to carry out an annual life cycle in a period of three to four months. Honeysuckle displaces and out-competes these native wildflowers for light and other resources. Ohio has a rich heritage of spring wildflowers, a heritage which will disappear. Rare species in natural areas are impacted and threatened. 2. Honeysuckle prevents the regeneration of a forest. New saplings are shaded out, and when mature trees grow old and die, there will be no younger trees to take their place. 3. Honeysuckle produces abundant fruit and seed which most people think are beneficial to bird species; in fact, these fruits are NOT NUTRITIOUS, as they contain pure sugar akin to eating a bowl of M & M’s. Unfortunately, birds spread the seed everywhere. Three of the MOST nutritious fruits for birds come from the native plants, Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Sassafras (Sassafras albidum), and Blackhaw Viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium). Each of these species’ fruits contains lipids or fats which are crucial for supplying migrating birds with energy. 4. Honeysuckle grows densely in the under story, and people think that it provides good cover and nesting sites for birds. This is incorrect. From a bird’s eye view above the forest honeysuckle appears thick, but from a predator’s view on the ground the bare “legs” of honeysuckle make nests visible. Predation of nests is higher in honeysuckle than in native shrubs.
