Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE
Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE ERICACEAE (Heath Family) A family of about 107 genera and 3400 species, primarily shrubs, small trees, and subshrubs, nearly cosmopolitan. The Ericaceae is very important in our area, with a great diversity of genera and species, many of them rather narrowly endemic. Our area is one of the north temperate centers of diversity for the Ericaceae. Along with Quercus and Pinus, various members of this family are dominant in much of our landscape.

Eastern North American Plants in Cultivation
Eastern North American Plants in Cultivation Many indigenous North American plants are in cultivation, but many equally worthy ones are seldom grown. It often ap- pears that familiar native plants are taken for granted, while more exotic ones - those with the glamor of coming from some- where else - are more commonly cultivated. Perhaps this is what happens everywhere, but perhaps this attitude is a hand- me-down from the time when immigrants to the New World brought with them plants that tied them to the Old. At any rate, in the eastern United States some of the most commonly culti- vated plants are exotic species such as Forsythia species and hy- brids, various species of Ligustrum, Syringa vulgaris, Ilex cre- nata, Magnolia X soulangiana, Malus species and hybrids, Acer platanoides, Asiatic rhododendrons (both evergreen and decidu- ous) and their hybrids, Berberis thunbergii, Abelia X grandi- flora, Vinca minor, and Pachysandra procumbens, to mention only a few examples. This is not to imply, however, that there are few indigenous plants that have "made the grade," horticulturally speaking, for there are many obvious successes. Some plants, such as Cornus florida, have been adopted immediately and widely, but others, such as Phlox stolonifera ’Blue Ridge’ have had to re- ceive an award in Europe before drawing the attention they de- serve here, much as American singers used to have to acquire a foreign reputation before being accepted as worthwhile artists. Examples among the widely grown eastern American trees are Tsuga canadensis; Thuja occidentalis; Pinus strobus (and other species); Quercus rubra, Q. palustris, and Q.

Trees, Shrubs, and Perennials That Intrigue Me (Gymnosperms First
Big-picture, evolutionary view of trees and shrubs (and a few of my favorite herbaceous perennials), ver. 2007-11-04 Descriptions of the trees and shrubs taken (stolen!!!) from online sources, from my own observations in and around Greenwood Lake, NY, and from these books: • Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs, Michael A. Dirr, Timber Press, © 1997 • Trees of North America (Golden field guide), C. Frank Brockman, St. Martin’s Press, © 2001 • Smithsonian Handbooks, Trees, Allen J. Coombes, Dorling Kindersley, © 2002 • Native Trees for North American Landscapes, Guy Sternberg with Jim Wilson, Timber Press, © 2004 • Complete Trees, Shrubs, and Hedges, Jacqueline Hériteau, © 2006 They are generally listed from most ancient to most recently evolved. (I’m not sure if this is true for the rosids and asterids, starting on page 30. I just listed them in the same order as Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II.) This document started out as my personal landscaping plan and morphed into something almost unwieldy and phantasmagorical. Key to symbols and colored text: Checkboxes indicate species and/or cultivars that I want. Checkmarks indicate those that I have (or that one of my neighbors has). Text in blue indicates shrub or hedge. (Unfinished task – there is no text in blue other than this text right here.) Text in red indicates that the species or cultivar is undesirable: • Out of range climatically (either wrong zone, or won’t do well because of differences in moisture or seasons, even though it is in the “right” zone). • Will grow too tall or wide and simply won’t fit well on my property.

SMALL DEPRESSION SHRUB BORDER Concept
SMALL DEPRESSION SHRUB BORDER Concept: Small Depression Shrub Border communities are narrow shrub thickets that occur as an outer zone on the rims of Small Depression Pond, Small Depression Drawdown Meadow, and Vernal Pool communities. These communities are narrow enough to be strongly subject to edge effects from both sides. They contain a mix of pocosin species, such as Cyrilla racemiflora, Lyonia lucida, and Smilax laurifolia, along with some characteristic pond species such as Ilex myrtifolia, Ilex cassine, Litsea aestivalis, and Cephalanthus occidentalis. Trees may be sparse or dense but have little effect on the shrubs because of open edges. They may include Pinus serotina, but more often will be Nyssa biflora, Acer rubrum, Magnolia virginiana, and Persea palustris. Herbaceous species of the adjacent open wetland and the adjacent upland are usually present. Distinguishing Features: Small Depression Shrub Border is distinguished from all other communities by the combination of shrub dominance and occurrence in a narrow zone on the edge of other, more open depressional wetlands. Small Depression Pocosins may contain some of the same species but will fill most or all of the basins they occur in and will not contain an appreciable amount of Ilex myrtifolia, Ilex cassine, Litsea aestivalis, or Cephalanthus occidentalis. Natural Lake Communities may share some species, but generally have a limited shrub layer. They occur on larger bodies of water where wave action is important. Synonyms: Cyrilla racemiflora - Lyonia lucida Shrubland (CEGL003844). Small Depression Pond (3rd Approximation). Ecological Systems: Southern Atlantic Coastal Plain Depression Pondshore (CES203.262). Sites: Small Depression Shrub Border communities occur primarily in limesinks but can occur in small Carolina bays and in relict dune swales.

Native Shrubs for the Washington, D.C. Area

Area Native shrubs are treasured additions to gardens due to their beauty throughout the seasons and year- round structure. They provide invaluable food and cover to birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife. Most of these plants are native to Virginia: these plants existed in Virginia before Jamestown, Virginia was founded in 1607. A few listed species are not native to Virginia but are native to other states in the southeastern U.S. Deciduous shrubs are some of the most useful and exciting plants in the landscape. Because their leaves die and fall off in the autumn, they have changing interest throughout the year - they are valued for their flowers, fruits, foliage, and twigs, and for their varied shapes and textures. Embellish your landscape with these beautiful yet functional plants! Evergreen shrubs are valued for their relatively constant foliage year-round. Many evergreen shrubs have other attractive features, such as beautiful flowers and fruit. Combine evergreen shrubs with deciduous shrubs and other plants in your landscape to maximize landscape interest. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) - a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Brilliantissima’. A variety (var.) or subspecies (subsp.), in contrast, is found in nature and is a subdivision of a species. Full Shade - the amount of light under a dense deciduous tree canopy or beneath evergreens. Full Sun – 6 hours or more of sun daily. Naturalistic use – native plants that, when properly sited, perform well with minimal care; best used in an informal design that suggests a natural landscape, or for the restoration of native plant communities.

Report Prepared for the Ecosystem Enhancement Program, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Partial Fulfillments of Contract D07042
Natural vegetation of the Carolinas: Classification and description of plant communities of Bladen County, NC and vicinity A report prepared for the Ecosystem Enhancement Program, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources in partial fulfillments of contract D07042. By M. Forbes Boyle, Robert K. Peet, Thomas R. Wentworth, and Michael P. Schafale Carolina Vegetation Survey Curriculum in Ecology, CB#3275 University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, NC 27599‐3275 Version 1. August 16, 2007 1 INTRODUCTION Bladen County and its surroundings is host to a variety of unique natural plant communities. Terrestrial, riverine, and nonriverine wetland natural communities form a large proportion of the land coverage within this part of the state. This is largely due to the sterility of the regional soils and extensive peatland formations which limited landscape conversion to farmland. The Cape Fear River forms the major riverine drainage for Bladen County. Along the river, there is a mosaic of alluvial plant communities, such as levee and terrace forests, rich mesic slope forests, floodplain hardwood swamps, and cypress swamps. Other river systems that drain Bladen County include the South and Lumber Rivers. The area east of the Cape Fear River, however, contains arguably the most unique vegetated landscape within Bladen County. This area is home to the largest extent of Carolina bay habitat left in the world. These elliptical‐shaped depressions have very limited drainage, and large portions of the bays are composed of dense shrub thickets. In spite of a general awareness of these riverine and Carolina bay communities, there previously had not been any vigorous assessment of their composition and structure.

Your continuing support has grown over the years and annua enefit has allowed UDBG to further its educational mission. I always � � look forward to the plant sale. It is enjoyable to see many familiar faces; the excitement as they interact with the plant experts and learn about new plants, and the wonderment ��ant sa�e cata�o� in children’s eyes as they explore the world of plants in a completely new way. We have modified the preorder system. Last year, the number of preorders was great enough to overload our staff and volunteer resources. Based on this continuing growth, we have decided to limit preorders to UDBG Friends members only. Members will receive a web address to access online presale ordering and will be mailed a preorder form that can be filled out and returned. This is a great new benefit of membership. I hope those of you who have placed preorders in the past and are not Friends members, will continue your support of the gardens by joining the Friends and placing a preorder again this year. Rather than a featured plant genus, this year we are Swallowtail butterflies on Eupatorium ‘Little Joe’.Above photo by Rick Darke focusing on plants that increase biodiversity.
