Spring 2002 page 2 Notes From Maxwell Arboretum by Emily Levine, Grounds Supervisor, Maxwell Arboretum Although most visitors to Maxwell Arboretum are rightly impressed by the trees, aware of the Vine Arbor, or familiar with the Viburnum Collection, many gems—especially shrubs—are hidden within its boundaries. In this issue I’d like to introduce visitors to two interesting shrubs not often seen in local landscapes: Rhodotypos scandens (Black Jetbead) and Dirca palustris (Leatherwood). Rhodotypos scandens Dirca palustris L. (Thunb.) Mak. Black Leatherwood, Wicopy Jetbead Rosaceae Thymelaeaceae Monotypic genus Deciduous shrub (only one species in the Origin genus); eastern United States Deciduous shrub Introduced 1750 Origin Zone 4-9 Japan, Central Asia Branches light Introduced 1866 brown to olive, small Zone 4-8 white lenticels, aromatic when bruised, very flexible and tough Branches opposite, greenish brown to brown, scaly at (hence the name) base Leaves alternate, simple; elliptic to obovate, obtuse, Leaves opposite, simple, prominently veined, sharply cuneate, entire; glabrous above, pubescent underside; 5-10cm.; bi-serrate, 4-8cm., bright to dark green turning yellowish in fall light green, yellow in fall Flowers perfect, singly at twig end; white, four petaled, Flowers perfect, small, light yellow; usually 3-4 per 4-5cm., May-June inflorenscence; March-April Buds greenish with brown tips, ovoid, glabrous Buds hidden by petiole bases; conical with 4 hairy Fruit drupe; glossy, black, hard, ellipsoidal, Oct. into scales; no terminal buds following season (very persistant), .5cm, in clusters at twig ends, Fruit drupe; light to yellow green; 6mm or larger; usually 4 per cluster HIGHLY TOXIC, may be fatal if eaten, ovoid; June-July contain amygdalin Height 1-2m.

Although neither its blossoms branches on two of the plants withered and died. No cause nor fruit are showy, this little shrub has a beautiful form was found. Given the poisonous properties of the fruits, and the structure of its branching is so delicate and intricate please be sure to supervise young children in the vicinity. that it makes a unique contribution to the landscape. ****** Early to mid-spring, before Flemming Slope and the Yeutter Gardens are in full bloom, is a wonderful time to visit Maxwell Arboretum. Be sure to check out the Rhododendron Collection and the Lilac Collection. Tours of both collections are scheduled. Early shade–loving perennials can be found hidden in the viburnums and other spots. Finally, in addition to those scattered throughout the Arboretum, recent bulb plantings can also be found along the Loop Road south of the Gazebo and along the front edge of the lilacs. Come enjoy the first signs of spring! Spring 2002 page 3 UNLBGA Education Programs by Kay Kottas, Education Mgr.

Yet Nebraska has a unique forestry history. Pioneers of the mid-nineteenth century moved into what was popularly known as the Great American Desert, and they rolled the dice that this semi-arid land, seemingly incapable of sustaining trees, could somehow grow crops. After winning that gamble, the settlers yearned for the trees they had grown accustomed to in the Eastern United States. They missed the beauty of the wooded areas and the respite of a shade tree.
