The mpI ortance of Geographic and Biological Variables in Predicting the Naturalization of Non-Native Woody Plants in the Upper Midwest Abstract The es lection, introduction, and cultivation of non-native woody plants beyond their native ranges can have great benefits, but also unintended consequences. Among these consequences is the tendency for some species to naturalize and become invasive pests in new environments to which they were introduced. In lieu of lengthy and costly field trials, risk-assessment models can be used to predict the likelihood of naturalization.

Wholesale Pricelist 2019
WHOLESALE PRICELIST 2019 PREMIER FAMILY NURSERY STOCK GROWER FOR OVER 90 YEARS Dear Friends, The number 94 isn’t really all that special as integers go. It does, however, have a few things going for it. It is the atomic number of Plutonium. In mathematics, it is the only number greater than one that equals the sum of the squares of the digits of their own square in base 11. If you call Sri Lanka on a regular basis, you are certainly aware that 94 is the code for international direct dial phone calls to that country. 94 feet just happens to be the official length of an NBA basketball court. Most importantly, it is the number of years that the Kankakee Nursery has been in operation. OK, I get it. 94 years is not as cool a milestone as say 95 or 100 years, but we’re pretty proud of the accomplishment nevertheless. In our 94th year, we have continued to progress in a number of ways. We have just completed three state-of-the-art greenhouses devoted exclusively to the production of tree liners. Thanks to our crack IT team, we have made many advances that touch all aspects of our operation. Advances have accelerated in inventory control, customer service, and quality control just to name a few. We continue our strong commitment to the future by significantly expanding the lining out of both our trees and evergreens. The impressive growth and development of our fourth generation is ongoing and a joy to watch as they take on more daily responsibility.

Adequate provision of potable water to residential properties is crucial for their use and the issue was taken with the utmost seriousness by the City. City Council was advised of the situation and immediately sought answers to questions relating to the water supply concerns and how the problem might be addressed in a responsible and expedient manner. One of the primary concerns of the City Council was the condition of the aquifer that provides potable groundwater to many of the rural residential tracts in Wildwood.

Rabbit Resistant Plants
RABBIT/GROUND SQUIRREL/DEER RESISTANT PLANTS Irene Shonle In general, animals are discouraged by: ~ Very aromatic plants ~ Prickles and spines ~ Tough, leathery leaves ~ Toxic plants ~ Milky sap No list is foolproof --a hungry animal will eat just about anything, including poisonous plants. Plant deterrent plants surrounding the more delectable plants. Newly transplanted plants are more likely to be eaten –especially those just bought from nurseries, but even those recently moved within a garden. Bigger plants are more able to withstand nibbling. Cultural controls such as removing brush piles or other protective cover where rabbits and ground squirrels hide and nest may help. Provide open areas in the landscape – small mammals tend to avoid open spaces that make them vulnerable to predators. Many odor repellents are ineffective with rabbits, so read labels carefully before buying them. Something that works for deer may not work with rabbits. Some products are labeled for both. What works in one persons’ yard may not work in another person’s yard. Fencing with chicken wire fencing, hardware cloth or flexible netting at least two feet high, buried 4-8 inches under is fairly effective against rabbits. Deer can be prevented with fencing at least 8 feet high. Raised beds with hardware cloth (1/4” squares or less) tacked to the bottom can keep pocket gophers out of gardens. Encircle trees and shrubs with hardware cloth (buried an inch or two under the ground) to prevent voles from girdling the trees.

Currants and Gooseberries Ribes Species Saxifragaceae
Currants and gooseberries Currants and Gooseberries Ribes species Saxifragaceae Rex M. Brennan Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA INTRODUCTION Ribes species, Saxifragaceae, are found throughout the temperate regions of Europe and North America, although species are also found in South America (notably Chile), Asia and northwest Africa. The genus consists of about 150 species, all shrubs or small bushes, spined or non-spined, and new species have been reported from South and Central America and parts of Asia in recent years. The range of habitats and plant types that comprise the genus shows considerable complexity and diversity. The species used for commercial fruit productions include blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.), predominantly used for processing and valued for its high levels of ascorbic acid, red currant (R. sativum and related species), and gooseberry (R. grossularia and related species). The Ribes crops have been used as both foods and medicines for centuries. The crops are diverse, covering a range of fruit types and colors, and their production methods range from intensive large-scale mechanized farms for blackcurrant (Fig. 1) to small areas of hand-picked bushes for both redcurrant and gooseberry. Besides these three main crop types, there are also jostaberries, which are hybrids between R. nigrum and gooseberry species R. grossularia and R. divaricatum, designated R. × nidigrolaria (Bauer, 1986), which are grown predominantly for self-pick operations. In addition to food uses, several species such as R. alpinum, R. aureum, R. roezlii (Fig. 2), R. sanguineum and R. speciosum have ornamental and landscape value, due to their ornate flowers and in some cases colored fruit.
