    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

  • Comparison of Oak and Sugar Maple Distribution and Regeneration in Central Illinois Upland Oak Forests
    COmparisON OF OaK AND Sugar MAPLE DistriBUTION AND REGENEratiON IN CEntral ILLINOIS UPLAND OaK FOREsts Peter J. Frey and Scott J. Meiners1 Abstract.—Changes in disturbance frequencies, habitat fragmentation, and other biotic pressures are allowing sugar maple (Acer saccharum) to displace oak (Quercus spp.) in the upland forest understory. The displacement of oaks by sugar maples represents a major management concern throughout the region. We collected seedling microhabitat data from five upland oak forest sites in central Illinois, each differing in age class or silvicultural treatment to determine whether oaks and maples differed in their microhabitat responses to environmental changes. Maples were overall more prevalent in mesic slope and aspect positions. Oaks were associated with lower stand basal area. Both oaks and maples showed significant habitat partitioning, and environmental relationships were consistent across sites. Results suggest that management intensity for oak in upland forests could be based on landscape position. Maple expansion may be reduced by concentrating mechanical treatments in expected areas of maple colonization, while using prescribed fire throughout stands to promote oak regeneration. INTRODUCTION Historically, white oak (Quercus alba) dominated much of the midwestern and eastern U.S. hardwood forests (Abrams and Nowacki 1992, Franklin et al. 1993). Oak is classified as an early successional forest species, and many researchers agree that oak populations were maintained by Native American or lightning-initiated fires (Abrams 2003, Abrams and Nowacki 1992, Hutchinson et al. 2008, Moser et al. 2006, Nowacki and Abrams 2008, Ruffner and Groninger 2006, Shumway et al. 2001). These periodic low to moderate surface fires favored the ecophysiological attributes of oak over those of fire-sensitive, shade-tolerant tree species, thereby continually resetting succession and allowing oaks and other shade-intolerant species to persist in both the canopy and understory (Abrams 2003, Abrams and Nowacki 1992, Crow 1988, Franklin et al.

  • Oystershell Scale (Lepidosaphes Ulmi) on Green Ash (Fraxinus Pennsylvanica)
    Esther Buck(Senior) Oystershell Scale (Lepidosaphes ulmi) on Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) I found a green ash tree (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) outside the law building that was covered with Oystershell Scale, (Lepidosaphes ulmi). Oystershell Scale insects on Green Ash twig Oystershell Scale insects The Green Ash normally has an upright oval growth habit growing up to 50ft tall. The Green Ash that I found was only about 20ft tall. The tree also had some twig and branch dieback. The overall health of the plant was fair, it was on the shorter side and did have some dieback but it looked like it could last for a while longer. The dwarfed growth and dieback of branches and twigs was probably a result of the high infestation of Oystershell Scale (Lepidosaphes ulmi) insect on the branches of the tree. Scale insects feeding on plant sap slowly reduce plant vigor, so I think this sample may have been shorter due to the infestation of Scale insects. As with this tree, heavily infested plants grow poorly and may suffer dieback of twigs and branches. An infested host is occasionally so weakened that it dies. The scale insects resemble a small oyster shell and are usually in clusters all over the bark of branches on trees such as dogwood, elm, hickory, ash, poplar, apple etc. The Oystershell Scale insect has two stages, a crawler stage, which settles after a few days. Then the insect develops a scale which is like an outer shell, which is usually what you will see on an infested host. The scales are white in color at first but become brown with maturity.

  • Asian Long-Horned Beetle Anoplophora Glabripennis
    MSU’s invasive species factsheets Asian long-horned beetle Anoplophora glabripennis The Asian long-horned beetle is an exotic wood-boring insect that attacks various broadleaf trees and shrubs. The beetle has been detected in a few urban areas of the United States. In Michigan, food host plants for this insect are abundantly present in urban landscapes, hardwood forests and riparian habitats. This beetle is a concern to lumber, nursery, landscaping and tourism industries. Michigan risk maps for exotic plant pests. Other common name starry sky beetle Systematic position Insecta > Coleoptera > Cerambycidae > Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) Global distribution Native to East Asia (China and Korea). Outside the native range, the beetle infestation has been found in Austria and Canada (Toronto) and the United States: Illinois (Chicago), New Jersey, New York (Long Island), and Asian long-horned beetle. Massachusetts. Management notes Quarantine status The only effective eradication technique available in This insect is a federally quarantined organism in North America has been to cut and completely destroy the United States (NEPDN 2006). Therefore, detection infested trees (Cavey 2000). must be reported to regulatory authorities and will lead to eradication efforts. Economic and environmental significance Plant hosts to Michigan A wide range of broadleaf trees and shrubs including If the beetle establishes in Michigan, it may lead to maple (Acer spp.), poplar (Populus spp.), willow (Salix undesirable economic consequences such as restricted spp.), mulberry (Morus spp.), plum (Prunus spp.), pear movements and exports of solid wood products via (Pyrus spp.), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and elms quarantine, reduced marketability of lumber, and reduced (Ulmus spp.).
