American Hornbeam Is Planted in Landscapes and AMERICAN Naturalized Areas
Plant Fact Sheet American hornbeam is planted in landscapes and AMERICAN naturalized areas. It prefers deep, fertile, moist, acidic soil and grows best in partial shade, but will HORNBEAM grow in full sun. Its chief liabilities in cultivation are Carpinus caroliniana Walt. a relatively slow growth rate and difficulty in transplantation. It is not drought-tolerant. Plant Symbol = CACA18 Seeds, buds, or catkins are eaten by a number of Contributed by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data songbirds, ruffed grouse, ring-necked pheasants, Center & the Biota of North America Program bobwhite, turkey, fox, and gray squirrels. Cottontails, beaver, and white-tailed deer eat the leaves, twigs, and larger stems. American hornbeam is heavily used by beaver, because it is readily available in typical beaver habitat. Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current status (e.g. threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Description American hornbeam is a native, large shrub or small tree with a wide-spreading, flat-topped crown, the stems are slender, dark brown, hairy; bark gray, thin, usually smooth, with smooth, longitudinal fluting (resembling a flexed muscle). Its leaves are deciduous, arranged alternately along stems, egg- shaped to elliptical in outline, ¾ to 4¾ inches long, with doubly-serrate edges. They are glabrous above, slightly to moderately pubescent beneath, especially on major veins, with or without conspicuous dark glands. During the growing season, leaves are dark green but turn yellow to orange or red in the fall. The flowers are unisexual, in catkins.

Blackwe ll Department of Botany and Department of Geology Miami University, Oxford, Ohio and George H. Dukes Route 2, Box 127 Brandon, Mississippi Introduction Fossil wood is a common commodity in Mississippi, even to the point that it has been designated as the "state stone." There is interest in it commercially (e.g., jewelry), as a popular collector's item among "rockhounds," and sc ientifically. Yet, available information is all too often deficient in detail (and sometimes even accuracy). This is especially true when such "hard nosed" questions as the fo ll owing are posed concerning a particular fossil wood specimen: 1) Exactly what kind of wood is it, botanically?, 2) Precisely where did it come from?, 3) How old is it, geo logically?, and 4) What is the mecha nism by which it became petrified? Certain identification, and literature providing other exact information, is typi cally lacking (or else not generally avai lable) for collec tions of petrified wood from a giveo site (outstanding exceptions are the works of E. W. Berry many years ago, e.g., Berry, 1916, 1924). Fossil wood is without question Cross section of fossil red maple (x 68) from Thompson one of Mississippi's rich natural treasures, and yet, sur- Creek. prisingly, so very little is actually known about it. This is a in particular (Fig. 1). Thompson Creek is now a rather fact which has bothered the authors of this paper for some famous local ity being as it is the site of a relatively recent time, especially since both of us grew up and received discovery of a fossi l whale (archaeocete) of Eocene Age our college educations in Mississippi, and sinc-e betA ~'lave (55 million- years B.P., approximate), which has su-bs-«? maintained an interest in southeastern fossil plant material.

Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.
