    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

  • Predicting the Areas of Suitable Distribution for Zelkova Serrata in China Under Climate Change
    sustainability Article Predicting the Areas of Suitable Distribution for Zelkova serrata in China under Climate Change Chunyan Cao 1 and Jun Tao 2,* 1 College of Horticultural Science and Technology, Suzhou Polytechnic Institute of Agriculture, Suzhou 215008, China; [email protected] 2 College of Horticulture and Plant Protection, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0514-8799-7219 Abstract: Predicting the geographic distribution of a species together with its response to climate change is of great significance for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem sustainable development. Zelkova serrata is an excellent shelterbelt tree species that is used for soil and water conservation due to the fact of its well-developed root system, strong soil fixation, and wind resistance. However, the wild germplasm resources of Z. serrata have been increasingly depleted due to the fact of its weak ability to regenerate naturally and the unprecedented damage humans have caused to the natural habitats. The present work using Maxent aimed to model the current potential distribution of this species as well as in the future, assess how various environmental factors affect species distribution, and identify the shifts in the distribution of this species in various climate change scenarios. Our findings show habitat in provinces in the southern Qinling and Huai river basins have high environmental suitability. Temperature seasonality, annual precipitation, annual mean temperature, and warmest quarter precipitation were the most important factors affecting its distribution. Under a climate change scenario, the appropriate habitat range showed northeastward expansion geographically. The results in the present work can lay the foundation for the cultivation and conservation of Z.

  • Lacebark Elm Scientific Name: Ulmus Parvifolia Order
    Common Name: Lacebark Elm Scientific Name: Ulmus parvifolia Order: Urticales Family: Ulmaceae Description The leaf arrangement of the lacebark elm (also known as Chinese elm) is alternate. Each leaf is oval with a serrate margin. Typical leaf coloration is leathery green, with purple, red, and yellow in the fall. The tree grows to a height of 40 to 50 feet with a spread of 35 to 50 feet. The bark is thin, thus giving rise to its common name as the lacebark elm. The tree produces a hard and dry fruit that brown and typically less than .5 inches in length. The root system contains a number of large-diameter members located close to the surface, and can grow for a long distance from the trunk. Growth Habit Lacebark elm is deciduous, but has been known to be evergreen in the southern extent of its range. The trees typically have a single trunk, although some have split trunks. They typically grow to a mature height of over 10 – 12 feet. It produces a bloom from late summer to fall which is yellow to green in color. A fruit is set in the fall. Hardiness Zone(s) The USDA hardiness zones for this plant are 5B through 10A. Culture Lacebark elm has no demanding culture for its habitat, and is considered to be quite hardy. It grows well in part shade as well as full sun, and has a high drought tolerance. For habitats near ocean, it has a moderate air-borne salt tolerance. For soils, it tolerates nearly all types, from clay, to sand, to loam.

  • Zelkova Serrata 'Green Vase'
    Fact Sheet ST-678 October 1994 Zelkova serrata ‘Green Vase’ ‘Green Vase’ Japanese Zelkova1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION ‘Green Vase’ somewhat resembles the vase shape of American Elms, is more upright in habit and tolerant of pollution, makes a great city street tree and produces a taller and narrower tree than ‘Village Green’ Zelkova (Fig. 1). Zelkova is often listed as a replacement for American Elm since it has roughly the same vase shape and grows 70 to 80 feet tall with a 50 to 60-foot spread. But no tree will truly match the grace and elegance of the American Elm. Zelkova is massive, with the trunk capable of growing to four feet or more in diameter. It has a moderate growth rate and likes a sunny exposure. Branches are more numerous and smaller in diameter than American Elm. Major branches grow very upright and provide easy clearance for tall vehicles below making it quite suitable as a street tree. Leaves are 1.5 to 4 inches long, turning a brilliant burnt umber in the fall. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Zelkova serrata ‘Green Vase’ Figure 1. Young ‘Green Vase’ Japanese Zelkova. Pronunciation: zell-KOE-vuh sair-AY-tuh Common name(s): ‘Green Vase’ Japanese Zelkova, sidewalk cutout (tree pit); residential street tree; tree ‘Green Vase’ Saw-Leaf Zelkova has been successfully grown in urban areas where air Family: Ulmaceae pollution, poor drainage, compacted soil, and/or USDA hardiness zones: 5B through 8 (Fig. 2) drought are common Origin: not native to North America Availability: generally available in many areas within Uses: large parking lot islands (> 200 square feet in its hardiness range size); wide tree lawns (>6 feet wide); medium-sized parking lot islands (100-200 square feet in size); medium-sized tree lawns (4-6 feet wide); recommended for buffer strips around parking lots or for median strip plantings in the highway; shade tree; 1.

  • Invasive Plant List
    NON-NATIVE INVASIVE PLANTS OF ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA While up to 40% of the plants found in a typical urban environment are non-native species, a relatively small number of these “alien” plants are known to represent an ecological threat to the natural environment (parks, woodlands, and backyards). Known as “invasive species”, these non-natives will spread from urban plantings into natural areas, eliminate native species, alter natural plant communities, and degrade the environment. The following plants have been documented as invasive species in Arlington. Known invasive plant species should not be planted as part of any Arlington County sponsored project. This list will be periodically reviewed by the Invasive Plant Coordinator (DPR) and updated by Version (date).

  • Classic Lacebark Elm
    Athena ‘Emer I’ Classic Lacebark Elm Lineage Ulmus parvifolia (Chinese elm, Lacebark elm, Drake elm). Also known as ‘Emerald Isle’. PP7551 Introduced in 1989 (Dave’s Garden, 2011). Tree Form A medium-sized tree with a broad rounded canopy, often with a trunk that forks resulting in a vase shape similar to that of the American elm (Floridata, updated 11/18/2010). Tree size, leaf size and growth rate half of that of the American elm, and they are often planted as a single tree (Warren, 2000). Height: 30 to 40 feet Width: 35 to 45, up to 60 foot wide crown spread (Delmar Learning, undated; UConn, undated)) Foliage Dark green in summer, leathery, almost black; bronze to bronze-brown in fall (Cornell, undated). Leaves simple, 1 to 2 inches long, but half as wide. Ovate, margins rounded to serrate (Delmar Learning, undated). Late deciduous, almost evergreen in mild climates (Floridata, 2010). Culture NA Disease and Insect Information Literature (Dutch elm disease studies, insect resistance assessments, etc.): Resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (DED), phloem necrosis and Elm Leaf Beetles (Delmar Learning, undated). It resists DED and shows very good performance under dry conditions (UConn, undated). Completely immune to Gypsy Moth, and only 10% of the leaf tissue was consumed by Japanese Beetle, the lowest of all the asian elms tested in a no-choice study (Paluch et al., 2006). When the Japanese Beetles were given a choice of species they did not feed on the U. parvifolia at all (Paluch et al., 2006). In an earlier similar study, U. parvifolia was the most resistant of all cultivars and hybrids to the Japanese Beetle (Miller et al., 1999).
