The President's Message I Hello folks! Enthusiasm is contagious, and I saw it all around me at the Annual Meeting. I felt great receiving the nomination for president of ABS. It takes a lot of confidence to try to fill the shoes of the previous presidents of ABS that I have known: Charles Fooks, Tom Saunders, and Steve Southall. The only way that I acquired the confidence was through the encouragement and assurance that was placed in me by the officers, the board, and so many of you. I am proud to accept, and I promise to do my best to advance the objectives and goals of the society. We now have a full slate of officers and board members raring to go. I don't believe we could have a board with more enthusiasm and competency. They have been feeding me ideas already. And I expect no less from all of you, the members-at-large. We invite you to express your opinions, suggestions, and ideas by whatever means possible, letters to the editor in the Bulletin , telephone calls, E-mail or smoke signals. We want this society to grow, and fulfill your wishes and we will all have fun and a feeling of accomplishment in the process. And to my friend Charlie Fooks, I want to say thank you. I have learned from you, and I respect the way you go about all of your duties while still managing your Woodland Nursery business. I also have the deepest respect for the rest of the officers and board. And how do we say thank you strongly enough to Mr. Paul Saunders for putting together such a terrific meeting and the whole Saunders clan for helping to pull it off? BRAVO! In closing, I will leave you with one more thought, let's communicate, sharing ideas. This will be our foundation for success!

Commercial pro­ duction had halted since the War due to lack of demand. The Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh held a collection of Asian spe­ cies, particularly from China, due to their longstanding botanical links. A fine collection of BUXU5 was also held in the Sir Harold Hillier Arboretum in Hampshire. It included unusual Asian species and many new American culti­ vars. However, these were not propagated for sale.

    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

  • What Is a Tree in the Mediterranean Basin Hotspot? a Critical Analysis
    Médail et al. Forest Ecosystems (2019) 6:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-019-0170-6 RESEARCH Open Access What is a tree in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot? A critical analysis Frédéric Médail1* , Anne-Christine Monnet1, Daniel Pavon1, Toni Nikolic2, Panayotis Dimopoulos3, Gianluigi Bacchetta4, Juan Arroyo5, Zoltán Barina6, Marwan Cheikh Albassatneh7, Gianniantonio Domina8, Bruno Fady9, Vlado Matevski10, Stephen Mifsud11 and Agathe Leriche1 Abstract Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests covered 82% of the landscape before the first human impacts, thousands of years ago. However, the spatial distribution of the Mediterranean biodiversity is still imperfectly known, and a focus on tree species constitutes a key issue for understanding forest functioning and develop conservation strategies. Methods: We provide the first comprehensive checklist of all native tree taxa (species and subspecies) present in the Mediterranean-European region (from Portugal to Cyprus). We identified some cases of woody species difficult to categorize as trees that we further called “cryptic trees”. We collected the occurrences of tree taxa by “administrative regions”, i.e. country or large island, and by biogeographical provinces. We studied the species-area relationship, and evaluated the conservation issues for threatened taxa following IUCN criteria. Results: We identified 245 tree taxa that included 210 species and 35 subspecies, belonging to 33 families and 64 genera. It included 46 endemic tree taxa (30 species and 16 subspecies), mainly distributed within a single biogeographical unit.

Eventually reaching 6- to 8-feet-tall (old specimens cab be much taller), Boxwood grows slowly into a billowing mound of soft foliage. Flowers are borne in the leaf axils and are barely noticeable to the eye, but they have a distinctive aroma that irritates some people.

Maple, smoke-tree, elm, redbud, viburnum, and lilac are among the more important hosts of this disease. Japanese maples appear to be particularly susceptible and often collapse shortly after the disease is detected. Plants weakened by root damage from drought, waterlogged soils, de-icing salts, and other environmental stresses are thought to be more prone to infection. Figure 1. Japanese maple with acute symptoms of Verticillium wilt. Verticillium wilt is caused by two closely related soilborne fungi, Verticillium dahliae They also develop a variety of symptoms and V. albo-atrum. Isolates of these fungi that include wilting, curling, browning, and vary in host range, pathogenicity, and drying of leaves. These leaves usually do virulence. Verticillium species are found not drop from the plant. In other cases, worldwide in cultivated soils. The most leaves develop a scorched appearance, show common species associated with early fall coloration, and drop prematurely Verticillium wilt of woody ornamentals in (Figure 2).

    Buxus sempervirens (Common Boxwood) Boxwood has traditional landscape use, just think of old English or French gardens. Eventually reaching 1-1.5 m (back in nature its able to reach 5-8 m). Boxwood grows very slowly. It has a small evergreen ovate leaves where the venation does show at all. The leaves are about 1 cm. The flowers are born in the leaf axis but unnoticeable for the eye. Use this plant as a hedge, mass planting and the best for topiary. It needs partial sun or shade. It grows best on clay or loamy soil.
