When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources of the earth.” —Frank Lloyd Wright Included Items: I. General Tree Planting Tips II. Master Tree List Large Deciduous Trees (60’ - 80’) Medium Deciduous Trees (40’ - 60’) Small Deciduous Trees (20’ - 40’) Ornamental Trees (20’ - 40’) Small Ornamental Trees ( 10’ - 20’) Broadleaved Evergreens and Ornamental Conifers (20’ - 70’) Broadleaved Evergreen/Semi-Evergreen Shrubs (3’ - 15’) Deciduous Shrubs (3’ - 30’) Trees recommended for use under utility lines Trees not recommended for planting **Disclaimer** The following list is not to be considered as comprehensive. The trees listed are merely suggestions to the types and species of trees that the City of Charlottesville would endorse. Due to the constant evolution of the industry, new species and varietals may be introduced to the recommended list while others are removed. Nature is not static; therefore neither is this list, changes will have to be made continually to reflect this evolving aspect. This packet is to serve as a guide, nothing more, and nothing less. * This document can be found at www.charlottesville.org in the Neighborhood Develop- ment Services Department under other Permits and Forms titled Master Tree List TREE PLANTING TIPS Trees in urban settings such as Charlottesville can survive, if provided an adequate environment. One of the ways in which, we can keep our trees healthy and alive is to provide them enough soil and room to grow.

Halesia Diptera Two-Winged Silverbell
Halesia diptera J. Ellis Two-Winged Silverbell (Carlomohria diptera, Mohria diptera, Mohrodendron dipterum) Other Common Names: Cowlicks, Silver Bell, Snowbell, Snowdrop Tree, Two-Winged Silver Bell. Family: Styracaceae (Halesiaceae). Cold Hardiness: Trees are useful in USDA hardiness zones 7 to 9. Foliage: Alternate, deciduous, simple, 3O to 4O long, elliptic to obovate leaves have broadly acute, cuneate or nearly rounded bases, shallowly serrated margins, and acuminate tips; pinnate veins are lightly impressed above and raised beneath; new growth is pubescent, but this is largely lost as leaves mature; summer foliage is medium to dark green, while fall colors are yellow-green to yellow. Flower: Glistening white, inverted, elongated, bell-shaped, four-petal, perfect, pendent flowers hang beneath the previous season's twigs in numerous small clusters during spring; numerous yellow stamens hang in the flower with a single distended white pistil; flowers are particularly attractive when viewed from beneath. Fruit: Two-Winged Silverbell has a small, hard, dry, beaked drupe surrounded by a teardrop-shaped two- winged membrane that hangs by a slender peduncle approximately the length of the 2O long fruit; fruits progress from a bright fleshy green to mature a tan or light brown color; old fruit are often persist throughout the winter. Stem / Bark: Stems — young twigs are green maturing to gray-brown to brown; new twigs are slender becoming medium textured and lack the white streaks present on H. carolina; the spongy pith is sometimes chambered; Buds — the reddish brown lateral buds are elongated, ovoid, and slightly divergent; Bark — bark of young trees is shallowly fissured into smooth silvery elongated plates; older trunks become vertically ridged and furrowed, mildly scaly, and sometimes almost corky in old age, mature bark is red-brown to gray-brown in color.

ARNOLDIA E i A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 21 JANUARY 20, 1961 NUMBER I CONCERNING THE REGISTRATION OF CULTIVAR NAMES International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants is an attempt THEto prepare a precise, stable and internationally acceptable system for the naming of plants under cultivation. The Code was drawn up by a special com- mission of the International Union of Biological Sciences in 1958 and has received general acceptance. One provision of this special code is the recognition of cul- tivar names (fancy names), for "an assemblage of cultivated individuals which are distinguished by any characters (morphological, physiological, cytological, chemi- cal or others) significant for the purposes of agriculture, forestry, or horticulture, and which, when reproduced (sexually or asexually), retain their distinguishing features." Such taxa have usually been considered as varieties or forms in the past. The Code now requires that after January 1, 1959, such fancy names must have a definite structure, be markedly different from the scientific name of a Latin forma, they should be distinguished in print by single quotation marks or the abbreviation "cv." and follow prescribed rules of botanical and horticultural priority regarding their use and publication. Thus firm rules are now established to be followed in the naming of new varieties of cultivated plants. An Appendix to the Code recommends the compilation and publication by in- terested groups of lists of cultivar names in categories of cultivated plants which are of significance to horticulture, forestry or agriculture. Such lists, when com- piled, will form the basis for future registration of distinctive cultivated plants under equally distinctive names.

Task Force on Landscape Heritage and Plant Diversity Has Determined Initial Designations
THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL TASK FORCE ON LANDSCAPE HERITAGE & PLANT DIVERSITY nd 2 EDITION APPROVED BY THE CHANCELLORS BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE February, 2005 This report is the product of a more than one-year-long effort from concerned members of the University of North Carolina community to ensure that the culturally, historically, and ecologically significant trees and landscaped spaces of the Chapel Hill campus are preserved and maintained in a manner befitting their beauty and grandeur. At the time of this writing, Carolina is in the middle of the most significant building and renovation period in its history. Such a program poses many significant challenges to the survival and well-being of our cherished trees and landscapes. This report attempts to identify, promote awareness, and provide guidelines for both the protection and enhancement of the grounds of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Furthermore, this report is intended to work within the framework of two earlier documents that help guide development of the campus: the 2002 UNC Master Plan and the 1997 Report of the Chancellor’s Task Force on Intellectual Climate at UNC. We hope that members of the university community as well as outside consultants and contractors will find this information both useful and pertinent. The Taskforce on Landscape Heritage and Plant Diversity 1 This report is the product of a more than one-year-long effort from concerned members of the University of North Carolina community to ensure that the culturally, historically, and ecologically significant trees and landscaped spaces of the Chapel Hill campus are preserved and maintained in a manner befitting their beauty and grandeur.

VEGETATIVE KEY TO SPECIES IN CULTIVATION Jan De Langhe (23 October 2012 - 18 January 2016) Vegetative identification key. Introduction: This key is based on vegetative characteristics, and therefore also of use when flowers and fruits are absent. - Use a 10× hand lens to check pubescence, bud scales, teeth and venation pattern in general. - Start counting veins at base of the top leaves lamina with first clearly ascending secondary vein, do not include intercalary veins, nor these ending in the apex. - Look at the entire plant. Avoid young specimens, shade- and strong shoots as these give an atypical view. - Beware of hybridisation, especially with plants raised from seed other than wild origin. Taxa treated in this key: see page 6. Taxa referred to synonymy in this key: see page 6. Questionable/frequently misapplied names: see page 6.

ARNOLD ARBORETUM HARVARD UNIVERSITY BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION NEW SERIES. VOLUME IX 1923 NEW SERIES VOL. IX NO. I ARNOLD ARBORETUM HARVARD UNIVERSITY BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION JAMAICA PLAIN, MASS. MAY 1. 1923 Compared with those of recent years it is a "late spring" in the Arboretum after a winter remarkable in the large amount of snow which has fallen and which has covered the ground continuously from the middle of December to the middle of March. The deep cover of snow has successfully protected low growing plants; it has protected, too, field mice which have injured some valuable shrubs by stripping the bark from their stems and branches. The cold was not unusually severe. Covered by the deep snow the ground was free or nearly so of frost during the winter, and in March there was promise of an ex- ceptionally early spring, but on the morning of March 29th the ther- mometer registered two degrees below zero and the prospect of an early spring was ended. Fortunately this extreme cold at the end of March had not been preceded by days of high temperature, and com- paratively little damage to plants in the Arboretum was caused by it. Rhododendrons with persistent leaves have suffered here more than any other plants by the low temperature at the end of March. There are dead branches on many plants of the Catawbiense Hybrids which have grown uninjured here for years; and some of the large plants of the native Rhododendron maximum have suffered even more than the Cataw- biense Hybrids. The hybrid Rhododendron myrtifolium (R.

Campus Tree Guide
The Smith College campus is a scenic landscape that has provided a garden setting for academic life for over a hundred years. The entire campus, originally planned and planted as a botanic garden and arboretum, TREESTREES was designed by the landscape architecture firm of Olmsted, Olmsted, and Eliot. Today, the Botanic Garden encompasses the 125 acre Campus Arboretum, the Lyman Plant House and Conservatory, and a variety of specialty gardens. The plant collections are documented and labeled to provide a resource for teaching, research, public education, and botanical displays. We invite you to enjoy the trees on the Smith campus. The Botanic Garden was established during a period of active plant explorations and widespread introductions of hardy plants from Asia. Among the interesting trees on campus are numerous mature Asian specimens. While this walking tour represents only a sampling of our collection and does not include trees on the other side of Elm Street, you will make the acquaintance of many Spring blossoms of the mountain silverbell, Halesia monticola, (number 39 on tour) shower down onto beautiful and unusual trees. We hope that you the gardens beside the President’s House. will enjoy the tour, that your appreciation of trees will increase, and that you will be inspired to go home and plant a tree.
