  • SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes

    SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes

    North Carolina Cooperative Extension NC STATE UNIVERSITY SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes Pender County Cooperative Extension Urban Horticulture Leaflet 14 Coastal Challenges Plants growing at the beach are subjected to environmental conditions much different than those planted further inland. Factors such as blowing sand, poor soils, high temperatures, and excessive drainage all influence how well plants perform in coastal landscapes, though the most significant effect on growth is salt spray. Most plants will not tolerate salt accumulating on their foliage, making plant selection for beachfront land- scapes particularly challenging. Salt Spray Salt spray is created when waves break on the beach, throwing tiny droplets of salty water into the air. On-shore breezes blow this salt laden air landward where it comes in contact with plant foliage. The amount of salt spray plants receive varies depending on their proximity to the beachfront, creating different vegetation zones as one gets further away from the beachfront. The most salt-tolerant species surviving in the frontal dune area. As distance away from the ocean increases, the level of salt spray decreases, allowing plants with less salt tolerance to survive. Natural Protection The impact of salt spray on plants can be lessened by physically blocking salt laden winds. This occurs naturally in the maritime forest, where beachfront plants protect landward species by creating a layer of foliage that blocks salt spray. It is easy to see this effect on the ocean side of maritime forest plants, which are “sheared” by salt spray, causing them to grow at a slant away from the oceanfront.

AREA ­ Non-native trees are some of the most beloved plants in the landscape due to their beauty. In addition, these trees are grown for the shade, screening, structure, and landscape benefits they provide. Deciduous trees, whose leaves die and fall off in the autumn, are valuable additions to landscapes because of their changing interest throughout the year. Evergreen trees are valued for their year-round beauty and shelter for wildlife. Evergreens are often grouped into two categories, broadleaf evergreens and conifers. Broadleaf evergreens have broad, flat leaves. They also may have showy flowers, such as Camellia oleifera (a large shrub), or colorful fruits, such as Nellie R. Stevens holly. Coniferous evergreens either have needle-like foliage, such as the lacebark pine, or scale-like foliage, such as the green giant arborvitae. Conifers do not have true flowers or fruits but bear cones. Though most conifers are evergreen, exceptions exist. Dawn redwood, for example, loses its needles each fall. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) - a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Gold’. A variety (var.) or subspecies (subsp.), in contrast, is found in nature and is a subdivision of a species (a variety of Cedar of Lebanon is listed). Full Shade - the amount of light under a dense deciduous tree canopy or beneath evergreens. Full Sun - at least 6 hours of sun daily.
  • Osmanthus Fragrans

    Osmanthus Fragrans

    Osmanthus fragrans (Sweet Osmanthus, fragrant Tea olive) Sweet Tea Olive is large evergreen shrub or small tree is capable of reaching 6-8 m in height and width but is most often seen at 3-4 m high with a 2 m spread. The shiny, medium-green leaves have paler undersides and are joined from October through March by a multitude of small, but extremely fragrant, white blossoms. They perfume a large area of the landscape and can be showy in some years. The plant has a upright oval to columnar growth habit in youth. Sweet Osmanthus is ideal for use as an unclipped hedge or trained as a small tree, and should be placed where its fragrance can be enjoyed. Since the flowers are not particularly showy, people will wonder where the delightful fragrance is coming from. Sweet Osmanthus should be grown in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Plants are fairly drought-tolerant once established but will perform their best with ample moisture. Needs acidic soil to grow in.

Hook. is needed to provide references for wood weatherproof pre-treatment and to improve wood utilization. Therefore, this study was conducted to understand the variation in the intrinsic weathering behaviour of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Chinese fir) under natural conditions. Wood samples from 15 Cunninghamia lanceolata trees aged 26–30 years old were used. The structural degradation and discoloration of wood surfaces before and after exposure were compared. The results show that the weathering behaviour of wood was weakened from heartwood to sapwood and enhanced from the bottom to the top.

    Serenity Pervades a Chinese Garden of the Ming Dynasty, for This Is a Place of Retreat from the Doings of Humankind

    Serenity pervades a Chinese garden of the Ming dynasty, for this is a place of retreat from the doings of humankind. It is where the functionary of the kingdom could indulge his "longing for mountains and water" without turning his back on his unrelenting obligations to state and family. Yet serenity is only the first of infinite layers that reveal themselves. The object of the garden is to capture all the elements of the natural landscape--mountains, rivers, lakes, trees, valleys, hills--and, by bringing them together in a small space, to concentrate the life force, the qi, that animates them. It is a harmony of contrasts, of dark and light, solid and empty, hard and soft, straight and undulating, yin and yang. This place was created to be savoured ever a lifetime. New meanings would be found in the symbolic objects and plants, new pictures seen as shadows placed across the rocks. The garden unfolded itself slowly. In this site, the Garden comes to life. The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver, British Columbia is the only full-sized classical Chinese garden outside China and though it was built in the 1980s, it employed the ancient techniques of the originals. For the architect, the botanist, the student of history, the lover of beauty, this site provides insights into the subtle wonders to be found within the walls of this living treasure. A Walk Through the Garden The Garden's Layers of Meaning Originally designed by Taoist poets, classical gardens were meant to create an atmosphere of tranquility for contemplation and inspiration.

    Cunninghamia Lanceolata (China-Fir) China-Fir Is Best Used As a Specimen, at the Corner of a Large Building, Or As a Large-Scale Screen Planted 15 to 20 Feet Apart

    Cunninghamia lanceolata (China-Fir) China-Fir is best used as a specimen, at the corner of a large building, or as a large-scale screen planted 15 to 20 feet apart. It works well in oriental gardens and the foliage keeps well indoors in a vase of water. Not a tree you would use everywhere. It is too big for a residential landscape but useful on campuses and other large-scale landscapes. China- Fir should be grown in full sun or partial shade on moist, well-drained, acid soil. China-Fir is extremely drought tolerant and grows well in poor, compacted clay soil. It is very adapted to urban soils except those poorly drained.

    Fact Sheet ST-512 October 1994 Prunus mume Japanese Apricot1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Japanese Flowering Apricot may be the longest- lived of the flowering fruit trees eventually forming a gnarled, picturesque, 20-foot-tall tree (Fig. 1). Appearing during the winter on bare branches are the multitude of small, fragrant, pink flowers which add to the uniqueness of the tree’s character. The small yellow fruits which follow the blooms are inedible but attractive. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Prunus mume Pronunciation: PROO-nus MEW-may Common name(s): Japanese Apricot Family: Rosaceae USDA hardiness zones: 6 through 8 (Fig. 2) Origin: not native to North America Uses: recommended for buffer strips around parking lots or for median strip plantings in the highway; near a deck or patio; specimen; no proven urban tolerance Availability: somewhat available, may have to go out of the region to find the tree DESCRIPTION Figure 1.
