Agriculture & Natural Resources Master Gardeners University of California Agriculture & Natural Resources Master Gardeners Cooperative Extension • Tuolumne County 2 South Green Street Sonora, CA 95370 (209) 533-5696 FAX (209) 532-8978 http://cetuolumne.ucdavis.edu [email protected] Deer Resistant Plants for Foothill Gardens Being able to watch wildlife in your own backyard can be part of the appeal of living in the foothills, but when browsing deer destroy your garden the charm wears off. If fencing your garden is not an option for you, you can minimize landscape damage caused by hungry deer by using landscape plants that deer don’t seem to like. Keep in mind that this list of trees and plants is only a guide and not the final word. Time of year, drought, taste preferences of individual deer and other factors can affect whether the deer will decide to browse on these plants. Both California native and introduced plants are included in this list. Native plants are designated by “(CN)”. “(Some CN)” means that some subspecies of the plant are native to California.

Rice Foundation, Galen Gates and the Plant Collecting Collaborative (PCC) team made outstanding progress through an expedition in the Republic of Georgia. On this recent trip into the Caucasus Moun- tains, a record was set for the most collections made on any Chicago Botanic Garden and PCC expedition to date. The trip, door to door, was 26 days with field collecting most days; nearly every night‘s activity included seed cleaning. We made three hundred collections at 60 sites. Most were seeds from 246 types of trees, shrubs, and perennials, 14 were bulb taxa and four were in the form of perennial roots. Remarkably, 53 taxa are new to U.S.

  • May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture
    May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture After lunch on Mother’s Day, my mom and I surveyed her garden, especially the peonies. We both agreed that I needed to propagate her peonies and plant them in my garden. These are special, because I remember them growing in my grandmother’s garden. Peonies are commonly passed down from generation to generation. My goal is to someday share them with my twins. Our discussion included the irises, which are another heritage plant. Both plants are blooming beautifully in May and are spectacular in the garden. Information about these two plants will be provided in this article. Peony (Paeonia officinalis, Paeonia lactiflora, and hybrids) is a herbaceous perennial, which means at the end of the growing season it will die back to the ground. However, the plant returns year after year. Peonies grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. There are tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) which have a woody stem, but those are not as common and require different growing conditions. The tree peony will not be discussed here. According to Dr. Rick Durham, Extension Specialist for Consumer Horticulture, peonies can be found in landscapes across Kentucky. Peonies have a long life span and are commonly grown in the garden. When planting the root, make sure it is not too deep. The eyes or bud should be just below the surface of the soil. If it is planted too deeply, the plants won't bloom.

  • Peony Questions and Answers
    Questions, Answers, and Comments Below are a list of questions and comments from the webinar chat feature. Black font corresponds to participant questions, comments, and answers. Some questions were answered during the webinar Colored font corresponds to comments and answers from the webinar speakers. Please visit https://cutflowers.ces.ncsu.edu/ to watch the webinar and hear questions answered during the presentations. Always do your own on-farm testing to validate a treatment or recommendation. Production Where are the gaps in production? Sept through late October and a small gap in January. Mention months again for harvest regions? Some higher elevation Alaska farms cut into early September In the central US we start in April in Arkansas and go until July in the UP When would we expect production for central/midwest? Late April in southern areas through early July in northern areas. About production in upstate NY and new England? New York and New England would see blooms in early June Is the peony bloom season for the southern hermisphere? Late October through January (often early January only). Number one top peony for cut flower production. (General ideas?) And why? in terms of bud production, which varieties tend to have the highest stem production? How many stems/plant should be expected? Possibly Sarah Bernhardt, due to having large fragrant flowers, high productivity, average but reliable vase life, reliable producer This really depends on the variety, the age of the plant, your management practices and environment. Jules Ellie has been our most prolific and highest gross earner Do you know how many chilling hours are demanded by variety? We don’t have chilling needs by variety.

An analysis was made of which floral elements particular plant taxa belonged to, as well as an analysis of the life forms. In the vegetation cover of this area plants of the Eurasian floral element as well as European plants represent the major propor- tion. This shows that in the phytogeographical aspect this area belongs to the Eurosiberian- Northamerican region. According to life forms, vascular plants are distributed in the following numbers: H=650, T=355, G=148, P=209, Ch=70, Hy=33.

  • Native Or Suitable Plants City of Mccall
    Native or Suitable Plants City of McCall The following list of plants is presented to assist the developer, business owner, or homeowner in selecting plants for landscaping. The list is by no means complete, but is a recommended selection of plants which are either native or have been successfully introduced to our area. Successful landscaping, however, requires much more than just the selection of plants. Unless you have some experience, it is suggested than you employ the services of a trained or otherwise experienced landscaper, arborist, or forester. For best results it is recommended that careful consideration be made in purchasing the plants from the local nurseries (i.e. Cascade, McCall, and New Meadows). Plants brought in from the Treasure Valley may not survive our local weather conditions, microsites, and higher elevations. Timing can also be a serious consideration as the plants may have already broken dormancy and can be damaged by our late frosts. Appendix B SELECTED IDAHO NATIVE PLANTS SUITABLE FOR VALLEY COUNTY GROWING CONDITIONS Trees & Shrubs Acer circinatum (Vine Maple). Shrub or small tree 15-20' tall, Pacific Northwest native. Bright scarlet-orange fall foliage. Excellent ornamental. Alnus incana (Mountain Alder). A large shrub, useful for mid to high elevation riparian plantings. Good plant for stream bank shelter and stabilization. Nitrogen fixing root system. Alnus sinuata (Sitka Alder). A shrub, 6-1 5' tall. Grows well on moist slopes or stream banks. Excellent shrub for erosion control and riparian restoration. Nitrogen fixing root system. Amelanchier alnifolia (Serviceberry). One of the earlier shrubs to blossom out in the spring.
