  • Sugarberry Plant Fact Sheet
    Plant Fact Sheet Wildlife: Many species of songbirds including SUGARBERRY mockingbirds and robins eat the fruit and use the tree for nesting habitat. It is a larval and nectar host for two Celtis laevigata Willd. butterflies: hackberry emperor (Asterocampa celtis) and Plant Symbol = CELA American snout (Libytheana carineta). White-tailed deer browse the leaves and fruit. Contributed by: USDA NRCS Plant Materials Program Other Uses: Sugarberry is used for furniture, athletic goods, firewood, and plywood. It has limited use for flooring, creating, and for wood posts. It is used as an ornamental and as a street tree in residential areas in the lower South Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current status (e.g. threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Description and Adaptation Sugarberry is a native tree that can grow up to 80 feet in height and up to 3 feet in diameter. It is a short lived tree, probably living not more than 150 years. It has a broad crown formed by spreading branches that are often drooped. The bark is light gray in color and can be smooth or covered with corky warts. The branchlets are covered with short hairs at first and eventually they become smooth. The leaves are alternated, simple, and slightly serrate. The leaves are 2-4 inches long and 1 to 2 Robert H.

  • Polyploidy in Trema (Ulmaceae)
    1971 341 Polyploidy in Trema (Ulmaceae) A. S. Hans1,2,3 Panjab University, Botany Department, Chandigarh 14, India ReceivedDecember 18, 1969 Introduction Trema Lour. belongs to Ulmaceae, a small family of trees and shrubs, encompassing 15 genera and about 150 species (Lawrence 1951) in tropics and subtropics of both the hemispheres. Trema is a small genus composed of 30 tropical species of which only three species constitute the Indian flora. The members of the Ulmaceae show variation in basic chromosome number. Celtis is polybasic with x=10, 11, and 14 (Darlington and Wylie 1955), while Ulmus, Holoptelea and Zelkovia exhibit a uniform base number of 14. A few instances of inter and intraspecific polyploidy in Celtis and Ulmus exist in nature. Celtis australias has been reported to be a tetraploid (2n=40), while C. laevigata, C. sinensis, and C. occidentalis are diploid, all with 2n=20 (Bowden 1945). The report of 2n=28 in C. occidentalis (Sax 1933) is suggestive of aneuploid races in the species. Most of the species of Ulmus are diploid except U. americana where in addition to the diploid race (Krause 1930), a tetraploid race is also known (Sax 1933). Artificial triploids and tetraploids have been raised in U. glabra by Ehrenberg (1945). The two chromosomally known species of Trema exhibit variable numbers. T. orientalis has been reported to have n=18 (Arora 1960) from Banglore and n=20 (Gajapathy 1961) from Madras in South India; T. politoria has n=10+B (Mehra and Gill). In view of the discordant reports on the chromosome number (n=18, 20) in Trema orientalis, the cytological study was undertaken to ratify the chromosome number, to assess the incidence of polyploidy, and if possible to determine the base number of this small genus.

  • Amur Maackia Maackia Amurensis
    Amur Maackia Maackia amurensis Paul W. Meyer ne of our most ER y important plant E l M exploration goals AU O P is collecting tree species that demonstrate stress tolerance and are therefore likely candidates for evalu- ation as urban street trees. Maackia amurensis is out- standing in its promise as a tough and useful urban tree. It is native over a wide geographic area including Japan, the Korean penin- sula, northeast China, and far eastern Russia. It is a member of the legume family (Fabaceae) and it is one of the relatively few trees that support nitrogen fixing bacteria on its roots. Although it was introduced to the United States in the late nineteenth century, it is still relatively rare here. In cultivation Maackia amurensis is a medium- sized tree reaching 45 feet (13.7 meters) or more (we were surprised to see specimens in China grow- ing well up into the for- est canopy, taller than the species is usually reported to grow). It has compound leaves similar to its rela- tive, black locust (Rob- inia pseudoacacia). As the leaves emerge in the spring they are covered with silky hairs which give the tree a silvery-gray appearance. A 40-foot tall specimen of Amur maackia at the Morris Arboretum.
