    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

  • Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List
    Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List Many common plants naturally resist fire and can even slow its spread. In general, irrigated and well maintained leafy plants burn slowly. By replacing highly flammable vegetation with these fire resistant recommended species, you can significantly improve the statistical survivability of your home when a wildfire threatens. Courtesy of the “Villager Nursery” in Truckee, this list of fire resistive plants should be considered when enhancing or adding landscape. Here are some other key components to remember when selecting appropriate fire resistant landscaping plants. Choose plants that don’t produce much litter such as dead branches and twigs Plants that produce oils, resins or waxes should be avoided When planting from the approved list, appropriately space plants to prevent fire spread Never plant under conifer trees, this can create a ladder effect which allows smaller ground fires the ability to transfer into larger trees creating crown fires To help ensure their fire resistance, plants must be maintained, watered, and pruned. Routine care will provide you with an attractive defensible space landscape and help ensure the survival of your property in the event of a wildfire. Northstar Fire Department enforces both State and District fire codes that may directly affect your landscape. Northstar Fire Department recommends that prior to changing your landscape you consult with us in order to make sure your property will be compliant with applicable fire codes.

  • Planting Guide Big O Wild Crabapple
    PLANTING GUIDE ‘BIG O’ WILD CRABAPPLE Malus coronaria (L.) USDA-NRCS Jimmy Carter PMC Americus, Georgia SPECIES: Malus coronaria (L.) P. Mill PLANT SYMBOL: MAC05 RELEASE NAME: ‘Big O’ GENERAL INFORMATION: Wild crabapple is a native tree which produces attractive blooms in spring and valuable fruit for wildlife in the fall. The Jimmy Carter Plant Materials Center has released an outstanding line of wild crabapple called Big O. DESCRIPTION: ‘Big O’ is a small deciduous tree that grows 20-30 feet tall from a slender trunk. The leaves are elliptic lanceolate shaped with a wavy margin. The blossom petals are pink/white fading to whitish. The normal blooming period in Americus is mid-late March. The fruit is a roundish green pome maturing to greenish yellow. Fruits normally begin maturing in November obtaining a size approximately 1 ½ inches in diameter. Big O fruit exhibits several levels of maturity into the winter season; some fruit will be firm while others are drying or rotting. USE: The primary use of Big O is wildlife habitat enhancement. It provides food and cover as a general wildlife plant but is especially suited to providing abundant crops of fruit for deer consumption. ADAPTATION: Big O shows potential adaptation further north but is primarily adapted to the piedmont and coastal plain of the southeastern United States. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS: Big O is a native crabapple from Floyd County, Georgia and has shown no weedy or invasive characteristics. Big O was rated as OK to Release in the Environmental Evaluation of Plant Materials Releases Form. ESTABLISHMENT: The first step in establishment of Big O is fruit collection.

    Residential Architectural Review Committee Recommended Plant List Plant Materials The following plant materials are intended to guide tree and shrub ADDITIONS to residential landscapes at Issaquah Highlands. Lot sizes, shade, wind and other factors place size and growth constraints on plants, especially trees, which are suitable for addition to existing landscapes. Other plant materials may be considered that have these characteristics and similar maintenance requirements. Additional species and varieties may be selected if authorized by the Issaquah Highlands Architectural Review Committee. This list is not exhaustive but does cover most of the “good doers” for Issaquah Highlands. Our microclimate is colder and harsher than those closer to Puget Sound.

  • Crabapple Malus
    Crabapple Malus Throughout the winter, many cultivars of crabapple trees including Malus x 'Red Jade' and Malus x 'Prairiefire’ can be easily identified by their branches bursting with small, bright red fruit. Beside adding color to a stark landscape, the fruit provides an important source of food to birds. When they bloom in late April or early May, crabapples are a crucial species for pollinators, as their early blossoms and month-long flowering season help to sustain bees. When they are in bloom, crabapple trees are effective for pollinating any variety of apple tree within fifty feet. In fact, orchardists used to take their blossoming branches and put them in a bucket of water in the middle of their apple orchards so that bees would visit the crabapple blossoms and then visit the apple blossoms as they opened on the apple trees, improving the fruit set. There are numerous species with the genus Malus, and not all of them have winter fruit. The definition encompasses all wild apples, which are much smaller than those grown commercially and named based on their pinching, sour taste. While wild apples are believed to have originated in Kazakhstan and then spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, there are a number of varieties indigenous to North America, including malus angustifolia (narrow-leafed crab apple), malus coronaria (prairie crab apple), and malus ioensis (Iowa crab apple). These were particularly beloved by Henry David Thoreau, who wrote at length about them in his 1862 essay Wild Apples, noting that some fruits were “sour enough to set a squirrel's teeth on edge and make a jay scream.” While some fruits are incredibly tart, they are not toxic aside from the seeds.

  • Acer Griseumgriseum Paperbarkpaperbark Maplemaple
    AcerAcer griseumgriseum PaperbarkPaperbark maplemaple Acer griseum(paperbark maple) naturally occurs in the mountains of inland China and was brought to Veitch Nurseries in England by the botanist E.H. Wilson in 1901. There, the tree was further cultivated and introduced in Europe. The paperbark maple is a slow grower, and reaches heights up to 9 metres with a round, half-open crown. In April, Acer griseumblooms hanging, daffodil-coloured corymbs. These are discrete, but with their high nectar value, bees and butterflies are always able to find them. The hairy, toothed, compound leaf buds orange and turns a matt green with a blue-green underside in the summer. The autumn colour is spectacular, with warm orange and scarlet hues. The tree gets the name paperbark maple from its red-brown, beautiful peeling bark, which particularly stands out in the winter. Acer griseumis great for use in parks, central reservations and containers. But it also thrives in large and small (roof) gardens and in cemeteries.
