  • Non-Native Trees and Large Shrubs for the Washington, D.C. Area
    Green Spring Gardens 4603 Green Spring Rd ● Alexandria ● VA 22312 Phone: 703-642-5173 ● TTY: 703-803-3354 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring NON - NATIVE TREES AND LARGE SHRUBS ­ FOR THE WASHINGTON, D.C. 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.

  • Simple Key to the Pines
    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 11I NOVE~IBER 9, 1JJ1 NUMBER9 SIMPLE KEY TO THE PINES (Native or available from nurseries in the United States) simple key is offered chiefly for the benefit of the amateur gardener who THISis frequently confronted with keys which he finds unnecessarily complicated. The key is based primarily on foliage characters which, in most cases, can be ob- served without the use of a hand lens. It should be clearly understood that any key based primarily on the length of the leaves (and this key is just that) is open to serious criticism because the length of the leaves of any plant will vary with the individual as well as with soil, age and climate variations, disease infestations and altitude at which the tree is growing. Other plant characters vary likewise. However, in order to assist the gardener who has an interest in pines, this key is offered in spite of just such criticism. It includes only those pines which one is likely to find in the woods or nurseries of this country. A few native species have been omitted because they occur only in limited areas, and many exotic species are omitted because they have not yet been widely distributed in culti- vation. It goes without saying that the more species included in a key, the more complicated that key becomes. There are about 80 species of pines distributed throughout the northern hemi- sphere, 27 of which are growing in the Arnold Arboretum.

    United States Department of Agriculture Mistletoes of North Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station American Conifers General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-98 September 2002 Canadian Forest Service Department of Natural Resources Canada Sanidad Forestal SEMARNAT Mexico Abstract _________________________________________________________ Geils, Brian W.; Cibrián Tovar, Jose; Moody, Benjamin, tech. coords. 2002. Mistletoes of North American Conifers. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS–GTR–98. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 123 p. Mistletoes of the families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae are the most important vascular plant parasites of conifers in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Species of the genera Psittacanthus, Phoradendron, and Arceuthobium cause the greatest economic and ecological impacts. These shrubby, aerial parasites produce either showy or cryptic flowers; they are dispersed by birds or explosive fruits. Mistletoes are obligate parasites, dependent on their host for water, nutrients, and some or most of their carbohydrates. Pathogenic effects on the host include deformation of the infected stem, growth loss, increased susceptibility to other disease agents or insects, and reduced longevity. The presence of mistletoe plants, and the brooms and tree mortality caused by them, have significant ecological and economic effects in heavily infested forest stands and recreation areas. These effects may be either beneficial or detrimental depending on management objectives. Assessment concepts and procedures are available. Biological, chemical, and cultural control methods exist and are being developed to better manage mistletoe populations for resource protection and production. Keywords: leafy mistletoe, true mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe, forest pathology, life history, silviculture, forest management Technical Coordinators_______________________________ Brian W.

With the aim to confirm whether the Pinus bungeana seeds were dormant or not, an isolated embryo was cultured and seed coat interference with imbibition was examined by the water uptake test; the contribution of enclosing structures to germination inhibition and the effect of different temperatures (10 ◦C, 15 ◦C, 20 ◦C, 25 ◦C, and 30 ◦C) on seed germination were investigated by the germination test, then total germination percentage (TGP) and mean germination time (MGT) were calculated. Results showed that the Pinus bungeana seeds were non-dormant, seeds without any prechilling treatment germinated readily and achieved high germination (approximately 90%) at favorable temperatures (15 and 20 ◦C). At 25 ◦C, seed germination was inhibited and intact seeds exhibited 5% germination, but an interference with imbibition was not responsible for this result.

  • Dirr, Michael A. Manual of Woody Landscape Plants: Their Identification, Ornamental Characteristics, Culture, Propagation and Uses
    Plant Profiles: HORT 2242 Landscape Plants II Botanical Name: Pinus bungeana Common Name: lacebark pine Family Name: Pinaceae – pine family General Description: Pinus bungeana is a slow growing pine known for its outstanding bark. The bark is a beautiful mixture of green, cream, and cinnamon colors reminiscent of sycamore (planetree) bark. Specimens can be found in arboreta and specialty gardens in the Chicago area but it is not commonly used as a landscape plant. Our heavy, wet soils limit broad use of this plant but should not deter one from planting it in their own garden as its beauty is beyond compare. Zone: 4(5)-7 Resources Consulted: Dirr, Michael A.

  • Lacebark Pine, Pinus Bungeana
    Lacebark Pine, Pinus bungeana Alex X. Niemiera, Associate Professor, Department of Horticulture Summary Foliage: About 3 inches long; 3 needles per fascicle; stiff; evergreen Height: About 40 feet Spread: About 25 feet Shape: Conical in youth, irregular with age Main Features Lacebark pine is a medium (sometimes large) conifer species that has strikingly beautiful bark. Bark is a camouflage-like patchwork of greens, silvery-white, creams, browns, and red-browns. There is a great amount of tree to tree variation in bark color; patchwork of colors begins to appear on approximately 2 inch diameter branches. Lacebark pine usually produces several main trunks which can be an asset since more trunks embellishes the showy bark characteristic. However, this multiple trunk tendency is also a liability since multiple trunks are not as sturdy as a single trunk, and multi-trunk trees are susceptible to snow and ice damage. The extra weight of snow and ice on branches will cause them to split away from the main (or large) trunks. Plant Needs Zone: 5 to 7 Light: Full sun Moisture: Average to somewhat dry Soil type: Average pH range: Acid Functions This species can certainly be used as a specimen tree (has sufficiently notable attributes to be used as a focal point) in a garden or landscape. Care Trees may be pruned at an early age to develop a single trunk. This species has relatively few pest problems. Additional Information Lacebark pine is purported to have a slow growth rate, but I have found that under average conditions (minimum of stressful conditions) that a medium growth rate (1 to 2 feet per year) can be achieved.

  • LACEBARK PINE (Pinus Bungeana)
    LACEBARK PINE (Pinus bungeana) By Kris R. Bachtell As those of us who enjoy working with plants settle in for another undoubtedly cold and long midwestern winter, we are more appreciative of plants like lacebark pine that offer their best ornamental features dur­ ing this time of year. Most of us turn to evergreens, both needled and broad-leaved types, when considering plants for winter interest. In addi­ tion to foliage, attractive bark should be one of the first features consid­ ered in the selection of useful "winter landscape" plants. Unlike many other ornamental features, bark becomes more prominent and visibile as trees become larger. Trees can be particularly attractive during the winter months when the low sun illuminates their bark. This, coupled with the contrast of snow and ice that frequently cling to the bark and limbs, can The bark of lacebark pine (Pinus create quite striking results. bungeana) is its most attractive fea ­ ture. Specimens are usually multi­ stemmed. Ornamental Features Lacebark pine has perhaps the most attractive bark of any evergreen tree hardy in the Chicago area. Irregular whitish and cinnamon-brown patches develop all along the young, olive-green stems. On the trunk and larger limbs, these plates, approximately one- to four-inches in size, cre­ ate an affect that is somewhat similar to that of planetree (Platanus X aceri­ folia), a deciduous tree planted frequently in the eastern United States and Europe. However, the bark affect is even more striking on lacebark pine because specimens are usually multi-stemmed, with numerous branches originating from near the base of the plant.
