    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

  • Chamaecyparis Thyoides)
    Disease Resistance and Aesthetic Evaluation of Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) David R. Sandrock, Michael A. Dirr and Jean Williams-Woodward Horticulture and Plant Pathology - Athens, UGA Since the original cross in 1888, Leyland cypress (xCupressocyparis leylandii) has been planted worldwide. Its rapid upright growth and evergreen foliage make it a popular choice among consumers for windbreaks, hedges, screens, specimens and Christmas trees. However, Leyland cypress is susceptible to at least two fungal pathogens, Seiridium and Botryosphaeria. These pathogens cause canker development which leads to the death of branches and eventually kills the plant. This it is necessary to search for an alternative needle evergreen with similar aesthetic characteristics but greater disease resistance. A possible plant for this role is Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides). My research consists of two objectives. The first is to screen Atlantic white cedar clones for resistance to Seiridium and Botryosphaeria. The second objective is to select superior taxa of Atlantic white cedar for production based on disease resistance, aesthetic characteristics, growth habits and performance in both field and nursery conditions. The disease screening experiment was initialed in the Fall of 1998. Seiridium, Botryodiplodia and Fusicoccum were isolated from infected branches of Leyland cypress and grown in pure culture. Plants for testing were vegetatively propagated during Fall, 1997. The disease resistance screening experiment consisted of 4 completely randomized blocks of 60 one- gallon plants. Each block contained 10 single-plant replications of 5 clones of Atlantic white cedar and one Leyland cypress. Plants were wounded with a wood rasp at a point on the stem measuring approximately 1 cm in diameter.

  • Morphology and Morphogenesis of the Seed Cones of the Cupressaceae - Part II Cupressoideae
    1 2 Bull. CCP 4 (2): 51-78. (10.2015) A. Jagel & V.M. Dörken Morphology and morphogenesis of the seed cones of the Cupressaceae - part II Cupressoideae Summary The cone morphology of the Cupressoideae genera Calocedrus, Thuja, Thujopsis, Chamaecyparis, Fokienia, Platycladus, Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Cupressus and Juniperus are presented in young stages, at pollination time as well as at maturity. Typical cone diagrams were drawn for each genus. In contrast to the taxodiaceous Cupressaceae, in Cupressoideae outgrowths of the seed-scale do not exist; the seed scale is completely reduced to the ovules, inserted in the axil of the cone scale. The cone scale represents the bract scale and is not a bract- /seed scale complex as is often postulated. Especially within the strongly derived groups of the Cupressoideae an increased number of ovules and the appearance of more than one row of ovules occurs. The ovules in a row develop centripetally. Each row represents one of ascending accessory shoots. Within a cone the ovules develop from proximal to distal. Within the Cupressoideae a distinct tendency can be observed shifting the fertile zone in distal parts of the cone by reducing sterile elements. In some of the most derived taxa the ovules are no longer (only) inserted axillary, but (additionally) terminal at the end of the cone axis or they alternate to the terminal cone scales (Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Juniperus). Such non-axillary ovules could be regarded as derived from axillary ones (Microbiota) or they develop directly from the apical meristem and represent elements of a terminal short-shoot (Tetraclinis, Juniperus).

Hook. is needed to provide references for wood weatherproof pre-treatment and to improve wood utilization. Therefore, this study was conducted to understand the variation in the intrinsic weathering behaviour of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Chinese fir) under natural conditions. Wood samples from 15 Cunninghamia lanceolata trees aged 26–30 years old were used. The structural degradation and discoloration of wood surfaces before and after exposure were compared. The results show that the weathering behaviour of wood was weakened from heartwood to sapwood and enhanced from the bottom to the top. This study provided information for weatherability research and improved wood utilization of Cunninghamia lanceolata. Keywords: Cunninghamia lanceolata; weathering; density; colour change; wood structure 1. Introduction Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook. is a member of the family Cupressaceae. It is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 50 m in height and over 3 m in diameter. It forms mixed broad-leaved forests or small, pure stands, rocky hillsides, roadsides, with altitudes ranging from 200 to 2800 m [1].

  • Cunninghamia Lanceolata (China-Fir) China-Fir Is Best Used As a Specimen, at the Corner of a Large Building, Or As a Large-Scale Screen Planted 15 to 20 Feet Apart
    Cunninghamia lanceolata (China-Fir) China-Fir is best used as a specimen, at the corner of a large building, or as a large-scale screen planted 15 to 20 feet apart. It works well in oriental gardens and the foliage keeps well indoors in a vase of water. Not a tree you would use everywhere. It is too big for a residential landscape but useful on campuses and other large-scale landscapes. China- Fir should be grown in full sun or partial shade on moist, well-drained, acid soil. China-Fir is extremely drought tolerant and grows well in poor, compacted clay soil. It is very adapted to urban soils except those poorly drained.

  • Dwarf Plants Dwarf Plants Are a Very Diverse and Intriguing Group
    Dwarf Plants Dwarf plants are a very diverse and intriguing group. Prized for their versatility and adaptability, dwarf plants are especially well suited for use in rock gardens, container plantings, and where a small specimen is needed. There are dwarfs that can be used as groundcovers, in full sun to full shade, and for use in formal or informal plantings. The word “dwarf” can mean many things, from having a growth rate of 1” per year or growing to only half the size as what is considered “normal” for that species. The most accepted way to classify a plant as a dwarf is based on its rate of growth. Plants that grow anywhere from 1”-6” per year, or grow to a 1’-6’ size in 10-15 years are considered dwarfs. Dwarfs are great to use in a low maintenance landscape, because they do not require the pruning and care that larger, faster growing shrubs do. Dwarfs make great foundation plants in small areas along a home or driveway, where others shrubs would spread out and cover walkways, block driveway views, etc. There a hundreds of dwarf varieties, many of them being conifers, or needled evergreens. Broadleaf evergreens and deciduous shrubs also have varieties that are considered dwarfs. In addition to a wide range of sizes, dwarfs come in many colors, textures, and shapes. They can be tall and narrow, upright pyramidal, rounded, low- spreading, or weeping. Listed below are many of the most popular dwarf varieties.

  • Morphology and Morphogenesis of the Seed Cones of the Cupressaceae - Part I Cunninghamioideae, Athrotaxoideae, Taiwanioideae, Sequoioideae, Taxodioideae
    1 2 Bull. CCP 3 (3): 117-136. (12.2014) A. Jagel & V.M. Dörken Morphology and morphogenesis of the seed cones of the Cupressaceae - part I Cunninghamioideae, Athrotaxoideae, Taiwanioideae, Sequoioideae, Taxodioideae Summary Seed cone morphology of the basal Cupressaceae (Cunninghamia, Athrotaxis, Taiwania, Metasequoia, Sequoia, Sequoiadendron, Cryptomeria, Glyptostrobus and Taxodium) is presented at pollination time and at maturity. These genera are named here taxodiaceous Cupressaceae (= the former family Taxodiaceae, except for Sciadopitys). Some close relationships exist between genera within the Sequoioideae and Taxodioideae. Seed cones of taxodiaceous Cupressaceae consist of several bract-/seed scale-complexes. The cone scales represent aggregation of both scale types on different levels of connation. Within Cunninghamia and Athrotaxis the bulges growing out of the cone scales represents the distal tip of the seed scale, which has been fused recaulescent with the adaxial part of the bract scale. In Athrotaxis a second bulge, emerging on the distal part of the cone scale, closes the cone. This bulge is part of the bract scale. Related conditions are found in the seed cones of Taiwania and Sequoioideae, but within these taxa bract- and seed scales are completely fused with each other so that vegetative parts of the seed scale are not recognizable. The ovules represent the only visible part of the seed scale. Within taxodiaceous Cupressaceae the number of ovules is increased compared to taxa of other conifer families. It is developed most distinctly within the Sequoioideae, where furthermore more than one row of ovules appears. The rows develop centrifugally and can be interpreted as short-shoots which are completely reduced to the ovules in the sense of ascending accessory shoots.

Plantations Received 13 April 2009 established in subtropical China since the 1980s, mainly of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Received in revised form 9 June 2009 Hook) in monocultures, have proved to be major C sinks. However, information is lacking about whether Accepted 27 June 2009 mixing Chinese fir with broadleaved tree species will increase stand growth and C sequestration. We address this question by comparing a pure Chinese fir plantation and two mixed plantations established Keywords: in 1990 at Huitong Experimental Station of Forest Ecology, Hunan Province, China. The mixed Carbon storage plantations include Chinese fir and either Kalopanax septemlobus (Thunb.) Koidz or Alnus cremastogyne Mixed plantation Burk., planted at 4:1 ratios. We found that total C storage was 123, 131 and 142 Mg haÀ1 in the pure Broadleaved tree Coniferous plantation plantation, mixed plantation with K. septemlobus, and mixed plantation with A. cremastogyne, respectively.

  • TAXODIACEAE.Publishe
    Flora of China 4: 54–61. 1999. 1 TAXODIACEAE 杉科 shan ke Fu Liguo (傅立国 Fu Li-kuo)1, Yu Yongfu (于永福)2; Robert R. Mill3 Trees evergreen, semievergreen, or deciduous, monoecious; trunk straight; main branches ± whorled. Leaves spirally arranged or scattered (decussate in Metasequoia), monomorphic, dimorphic, or trimorphic on same tree, lanceolate, subulate, scalelike, or linear. Microsporophylls and cone scales spirally arranged (decussate in Metasequoia). Pollen cones borne in panicles, or solitary or clustered at branch apices, or axillary, small; microsporangia with (2 or)3 or 4(–9) pollen sacs; pollen nonsaccate. Seed cones terminal or borne near apex of previous year’s growth, ripening in 1st year, persistent or late deciduous; cone scales developing after ovules originate in bract axils; bracts and cone scales usually spirally aranged (decussate in Metasequoia), sessile, opening when ripe (falling in Taxodium), semiconnate and free only at apex, or completely united; bracts occasionally rudimentary (in Taiwania); ovules 2–9 per bract axil, erect or pendulous; cone scales of mature cones flattened or shield-shaped, woody or leathery, 2–9-seeded on abaxial side. Seeds flat or triangular, wingless (in Taxodium), narrowly winged all round or on 2 sides, or with a long wing on proximal part. Cotyledons 2–9. 2n = 22*. Nine genera and 12 species: Asia, North America, and (Athrotaxis D. Don) Tasmania; eight genera (one endemic, three introduced) and nine species (one endemic, four introduced) in China. A merger of the Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae is increasingly supported by both morphological and molecular evidence (see note under Cupressaceae). However, the two groups are kept as separate families here for pragmatic reasons.

Horn Volume 26, no. 4 Southeastern Conifer Quarterly December 2019 American Conifer Society Southeast Region Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia From the Southeast Region President We have just finished a successful SER meeting in Gloucester VA. It was a great weekend to meet up with old friends and meet new ones. The weather could not have been any better. A big thank you to Brent Heath and Wayne Galloway for their work to make it great: Brent for offering to host the 2019 meeting in Gloucester and for suggesting venues; Wayne for lining up the vendors and tour gardens. Friday night’s dinner at Brent and Becky’s house was one of the best dinners and locations we have ever had for a meeting! Special thanks, also, to all of our plant donors who made it possible for everyone to bring a special plant home from the meeting, and a big shout out to Valerie and Bill from Piccadilly farm and Nursery for bringing a conifer for everyone who attended the meeting. Currently, we are experiencing our first “Polar Vortex” of the year - about 20 degrees below normal! As soon as it warms up, I plan to head back out to clean up the gardens and do some pruning. I also like to mulch and plant in November and December, since it gives the plants a few extra months to set roots. If you don’t get everything planted before the real winter weather hits, hold potted plants in a protected area since potted plants are affected much more by colder temps than those in the ground.
