    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

  • S M Acer Saccharinum L
    S M Acer saccharinum L. bundant in some localities, silver A maple is a common tree, found throughout the state except along the coast. It grows largely on sandy banks along streams, usually attaining a height of 60–80 feet and a diameter of 2–3 feet. The trunk normally separates into 3 or 4 upright secondary stems, devoid of branches for some distance. The branches are long and slender, often pendulous. The bark on young trees is smooth, gray, slightly tinged with red. On old trees, it is reddish-brown, fur- rowed, and separated into large thin scales that are loose at the bottom.Twigs are chestnut brown and shiny. The leaves are opposite, deeply In Maine, silver maple is most five-lobed; and the edges are irregular common along major rivers. and sharply toothed. The upper surface is pale green, the lower, silvery white. They turn a pale yellow in fall. 76 SILVER MAPLE E L P A M The flowers are on very short stalks and in clusters. They are green- ish-yellow or sometimes pinkish, open- ing early, long before the leaves appear. The fruit is paired, winged and ripens in spring. Frequently, one of the pair does not fully develop. The twigs are curved upward at the tip, orange or red-brown above and green below, slender, with a bitter taste and a rank odor when broken.

  • Responses of Black Willow (Salix Nigra) Cuttings to Simulated Herbivory and flooding
    Acta Oecologica 28 (2005) 173–180 www.elsevier.com/locate/actoec Original article Responses of black willow (Salix nigra) cuttings to simulated herbivory and flooding Shuwen Li a,*, Lili T. Martin a, S. Reza Pezeshki a, F. Douglas Shields Jr. b a Department of Biology, The University of Memphis, Memphis, TN 38152, USA b USDA-ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory, P.O. Box 1157, Oxford, MS 38655, USA Received 7 January 2004; accepted 31 March 2005 Available online 04 May 2005 Abstract Herbivory and flooding influence plant species composition and diversity in many wetland ecosystems. Black willow (Salix nigra) natu- rally occurs in floodplains and riparian zones of the southeastern United States. Cuttings from this species are used as a bioengineering tool for streambank stabilization and habitat rehabilitation. The present study was conducted to evaluate the photosynthetic and growth responses of black willow to simulated herbivory and flooding. Potted cuttings were subjected to three levels of single-event herbivory: no herbivory (control), light herbivory, and heavy herbivory; and three levels of flooding conditions: no flooding (control), continuous flooding, and peri- odic flooding. Results indicated that elevated stomatal conductance partially contributed to the increased net photosynthesis noted under both levels of herbivory on day 30. However, chlorophyll content was not responsible for the observed compensatory photosynthesis. Cuttings subjected to heavy herbivory accumulated the lowest biomass even though they had the highest height growth by the conclusion of the experiment. In addition, a reduction in root/shoot ratio was noted for plants subjected to continuous flooding with no herbivory. However, continuously flooded, lightly clipped plants allocated more resources to roots than shoots.

  • Acer Saccharinum: Silver Maple1 Edward F
    ENH-207 Acer saccharinum: Silver Maple1 Edward F. Gilman, Dennis G. Watson, Ryan W. Klein, Andrew K. Koeser, Deborah R. Hilbert and Drew C. McLean2 Introduction Silver maple has a vase shape and is a rapidly growing, fairly weak-wooded tree that reaches a height of 60 to 80 feet with a 5- to 6- foot diameter trunk on a moist site. The tree is useful in wet areas, transplants easily, and can grow where few others can. It should be saved for planting in wet areas or where nothing else will thrive. Roots often grow on the surface of the soil, making mowing grass difficult under the canopy. They also are aggressive, growing into septic tank drain fields and into broken water and sewer pipes. It is also hard to plant shrubs and other plants beneath the branches due to the dense root system. General Information Scientific name: Acer saccharinum Pronunciation: AY-ser sack-uh-RYE-num Common name(s): silver maple Family: Sapindaceae USDA hardiness zones: 3A through 9B (Figure 2) Origin: native to eastern half of the United States and southeastern Canada UF/IFAS Invasive Assessment Status: native Uses: urban tolerant; shade; reclamation Figure 1.

  • Salix Nigra Marsh
    Salix nigra Marsh Salix nigra Marsh. Black Willow Salicaceae -- Willow family J. A. Pitcher and J. S. McKnight Black willow (Salix nigra) is the largest and the only commercially important willow of about 90 species native to North America. It is more distinctly a tree throughout its range than any other native willow; 27 species attain tree size in only part of their range (3). Other names sometimes used are swamp willow, Goodding willow, southwestern black willow, Dudley willow, and sauz (Spanish). This short-lived, fast-growing tree reaches its maximum size and development in the lower Mississippi River Valley and bottom lands of the Gulf Coastal Plain (4). Stringent requirements of seed germination and seedling establishment limit black willow to wet soils near water courses (5), especially floodplains, where it often grows in pure stands. Black willow is used for a variety of wooden products and the tree, with its dense root system, is excellent for stabilizing eroding lands. Habitat Native Range Black willow is found throughout the Eastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada and Mexico. The range extends from southern New Brunswick and central Maine west in Quebec, southern Ontario, and central Michigan to southeastern Minnesota; south and west to the Rio Grande just below its confluence with the Pecos River; and east along the gulf coast, through the Florida panhandle and southern Georgia. Some authorities consider Salix gooddingii as a variety of S. nigra, which extends the range to the Western United States (3,9). http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/silvics_manual/volume_2/salix/nigra.htm (1 of 9)1/4/2009 4:08:21 PM Salix nigra Marsh -The native range of black willow.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

  • Acer Saccharum Marsh
    Sugar Maple Species information Scientific Name: Acer saccharum Marsh. Family: Sapindaceae Conservation Status: Least concern Native to: Quebec to Florida and west to Texas Habitat Type: generously moist, fertile land uncrowded by other planting Description: When mature, it grows up 60’ – 100’ (18 – 30m) in height. In the spring, Sugar Maples blossom with yellow flowers. Leaves are three- to five-lobed, palmate and arranged opposite. In autumn, they turn to striking vivid orange, gold, and crimson. Bark is grayish brown with shallow fissures. Fruit is a double samara with wings. Ethnobotany: Sugar Maple, whose leaf appears on Canadian flag, is a very significant tree to New England. It is important historically and economically for the production of maple syrup and timber. Ecology: This species is one of the most shade tolerant trees of North American maples. Similarly to Striped Maple, Sugar Maple can germinate and persist in closed canopy and then react with rapid growth to an opening. Moreover, Sugar Maples can draw water from lower soil layers and bringing it up to upper layers. In some areas, this species is being replaced with invasive Norway Maple which is more tolerant to urban conditions. Excerpts from literature on sugaring and its history in New England: Rasles, Sebastienn. Lettres edifiantes et curieuses (1718) in Nearing, Helen and Scott. The Maple Sugar Book. (New York: J. Day. Co., 1950): “There is no lack of sugar in these forests. In the spring the maple-trees contain a fluid resembling that which the canes of the island contain. The women busy themselves in receiving in into vessels of bark, when it trickles from these trees; they boil it, and obtain from it a fairly good sugar.” Burroughs, John.
