  • Japanese Maples – Acer Spp
    Japanese Maples – Acer spp. Known for their astounding variety in color, texture and habit, Japanese Maples are easygoing and adaptable and belong in every garden. If you already have one, think about adding another! for every site, a japanese maple! • Botanists count twenty-three species to include under the common heading of Japanese Maple. The largest group is Acer palmatum and its cultivars, followed by Acer japonicum. The numerous cultivars of Acer palmatum are further divided into seven groups which are mostly defined by leaf-shape. • In addition to variation in leaf-shape, Japanese Maples come in an array of sizes, growth habits, color ranges, and full sun to part shade preference. They add structure, contrast, texture, and beauty to any garden. • Carefully evaluate your chosen planting spot: Japanese maples require a slightly acid, sandy loam, with medium moisture and good drainage. Regular leafed varieties take full sun better than laceleaf types, but all Japanese Maples will be happy with at least some afternoon shade, since St. Louis summer sun is hot, strong and humid. • Remember that plants grow outwards as well as upwards and site appropriately. Take into account proximity to any buildings and any overhead limits. Some pruning is possible but should not be a necessary task. • The main requirement of a Japanese Maple is a uniform supply of water. They are not happy with very wet periods followed by long, dry periods or vice versa. Most will need supplemental water in the St. Louis summers. Japanese Maples in planters have this same need for consistency – be careful that they do not become waterlogged! prepare your site, plant your tree • Japanese Maples are easy to plant.

    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.

Leaves mostly simple and palmately lobed or at least palmately veined, in a few species pinnately veined and entire or toothed, or pinnately or palmately 3–5-foliolate. Inflorescence corymbiform or umbelliform, sometimes racemose or large paniculate. Sepals (4 or)5, rarely 6. Petals (4 or)5, rarely 6, seldom absent. Stamens (4 or 5 or)8(or 10 or 12); filaments distinct. Carpels 2; ovules (1 or)2 per locule. Fruit a winged schizocarp, commonly a double samara, usually 1-seeded; embryo oily or starchy, radicle elongate, cotyledons 2, green, flat or plicate; endosperm absent. 2n = 26. About 129 species: widespread in both temperate and tropical regions of N Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central and North America; 99 species (61 endemic, three introduced) in China. Acer lanceolatum Molliard (Bull. Soc. Bot. France 50: 134. 1903), described from Guangxi, is an uncertain species and is therefore not accepted here. The type specimen, in Berlin (B), has been destroyed. Up to now, no additional specimens have been found that could help clarify the application of this name. Worldwide, Japanese maples are famous for their autumn color, and there are over 400 cultivars. Also, many Chinese maple trees have beautiful autumn colors and have been cultivated widely in Chinese gardens, such as Acer buergerianum, A. davidii, A. duplicatoserratum, A. griseum, A. pictum, A. tataricum subsp. ginnala, A. triflorum, A. truncatum, and A. wilsonii.

  • For Japananus Hyalinus
    Rapid Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for Japananus hyalinus STAGE 1: INITIATION 1. What is the name of the pest? Japananus hyalinus (Osborn) Hemiptera Cicadellidae Japanese maple leafhopper Synonyms: Japananus meridionalis Bonfils Platymetopius cinctus Matsumura Platymetopius hyalinus Osborn 2. What initiated this rapid PRA? In 1999 two leafhoppers identified as J. hyalinus were intercepted on Acer palmatum 'Katsura' imported from South Korea. An entry for this species was included on the UK Plant Health Pest Risk Register in 2013 and identified as a priority to update a previous PRA written in 1999 (Fera 2013), in particular to assess its potential establishment given the spread of J. hyalinus across Europe (Mifsud et al. 2010). 3. What is the PRA area? The PRA area is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. STAGE 2: RISK ASSESSMENT 4. What is the pest’s status in the EC Plant Health Directive (Council Directive 2000/29/EC1) and in the lists of EPPO2? The pest is not listed in the EC Plant Health Directive and is not recommended for regulation as a quarantine pest by EPPO, nor is it on the EPPO Alert List. 5. What is the pest’s current geographical distribution? J. hyalinus was first identified from the USA, but it is widely believed to originate from eastern Asia, though some authors dispute this due to the main host plant in Europe being the native Acer campestre, rather than ornamentally grown Asian species (Nickel and Remane 2002). It was first introduced into Europe in Austria in 1961, but its range has expanded considerably in recent years (Mifsud et al.

  • Trees, Shrubs, and Perennials That Intrigue Me (Gymnosperms First
    Big-picture, evolutionary view of trees and shrubs (and a few of my favorite herbaceous perennials), ver. 2007-11-04 Descriptions of the trees and shrubs taken (stolen!!!) from online sources, from my own observations in and around Greenwood Lake, NY, and from these books: • Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs, Michael A. Dirr, Timber Press, © 1997 • Trees of North America (Golden field guide), C. Frank Brockman, St. Martin’s Press, © 2001 • Smithsonian Handbooks, Trees, Allen J. Coombes, Dorling Kindersley, © 2002 • Native Trees for North American Landscapes, Guy Sternberg with Jim Wilson, Timber Press, © 2004 • Complete Trees, Shrubs, and Hedges, Jacqueline Hériteau, © 2006 They are generally listed from most ancient to most recently evolved. (I’m not sure if this is true for the rosids and asterids, starting on page 30. I just listed them in the same order as Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II.) This document started out as my personal landscaping plan and morphed into something almost unwieldy and phantasmagorical. Key to symbols and colored text: Checkboxes indicate species and/or cultivars that I want. Checkmarks indicate those that I have (or that one of my neighbors has). Text in blue indicates shrub or hedge. (Unfinished task – there is no text in blue other than this text right here.) Text in red indicates that the species or cultivar is undesirable: • Out of range climatically (either wrong zone, or won’t do well because of differences in moisture or seasons, even though it is in the “right” zone). • Will grow too tall or wide and simply won’t fit well on my property.

  • Plants of the Seattle Japanese Garden 2020
    PLANTS OF THE SEATTLE JAPANESE GARDEN 2020 Acknowledgments The SJG Plant Committee would like to thank our Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) gardeners and the Niwashi volunteers for their dedication to this garden. Senior gardener Peter Putnicki displays exceptional leadership and vision, and is fully engaged in garden maintenance as well as in shaping the garden’s evolution. Gardeners Miriam Preus, Andrea Gillespie and Peter worked throughout the winter and spring to ensure that the garden would be ready when the Covid19 restrictions permitted it to re-open. Like all gardens, the Seattle Japanese Garden is a challenging work in progress, as plants continue to grow and age and need extensive maintenance, or removal & replacement. This past winter, Pete introduced several new plants to the garden – Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Wedding Gown’, Osmanthus fragrans, and Cercidiphyllum japonicum ‘Morioka Weeping’. The Plant Committee is grateful to our gardeners for continuing to provide us with critical information about changes to the plant collection. The Plant Committee (Hiroko Aikawa, Maggie Carr, Sue Clark, Kathy Lantz, chair, Corinne Kennedy, Aleksandra Monk and Shizue Prochaska) revised and updated the Plant Booklet. This year we welcome four new members to the committee – Eleanore Baxendale, Joanie Clarke, Patti Brawer and Pamela Miller. Aleksandra Monk continues to be the chief photographer of the plants in the garden and posts information about plants in bloom and seasons of interest to the SJG Community Blog and related SJG Bloom Blog. Corinne Kennedy is a frequent contributor to the SJG website and published 2 articles in the summer Washington Park Arboretum Bulletin highlighting the Japanese Garden – Designed in the Stroll-Garden Style and Hidden Treasure of the Japanese Garden.

  • Acer Palmatum
    Acer palmatum - Japanese Maple Common name: Japanese maple Family: Aceraceae USDA hardiness zone: 5B through 8B Origin: Japan; not native to North America Foliage: Deciduous broadleaf tree. Foliage color, depending on cultivar, varies from green to red to purple to a marble pattern composed of varying combinations of white, pink and shades of green. Foliage shape can vary from the “normal” looking leaf to dissected (leaves with very thin lobes often referred to a “cut leaf” form). Dissected leaves impart a very lacy look and fine texture to plants. Spring and fall foliage colors are quite vibrant and can be bright red, yellow, chartreuse, or maroon. Red-leaved cultivars will have green leaves if grown in the shade. Height: 12-25 feet (depending on cultivar) Spread: 10-25 feet (depending on cultivar) Light requirement: Full sun to full shade, but usually best in partial sun to partial shade Soil tolerance: Clay; sand; loam; slightly alkaline; acidic; well-drained; pH: 3.7-6.8 Drought tolerance: Moderate Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’ Acer palmatum ‘Sangu Kaku’ Acer palmatum ‘Viridis’ Currituck Master Gardeners Plant of the Month – August 2017 Japanese maple trees are prized for their delicate foliage throughout the growing season, and especially their fall foliage. It is one of the finest, most exquisite small trees for texture, form, foliage, and autumn color. This large shrub or small tree tends to leaf out early, so it may be injured by spring frosts. Protect them from drying winds and direct sun by providing exposure to partial or filtered shade and well-drained, acid soil with plenty of organic matter, particularly in the southern part of its range.
