- 2. Pinus Strobus Habit and Form • evergreen tree • conical in form when young, losing a defined shape with age, becoming picturesque • 50 to 80' tall by 30-50' wide, can reach well over 100' tall. • many lateral branches creates a moderately dense canopy • fine texture • fast growing Flowers • monoecious • no ornamental value Fruit • light brown cones, often numerous • cones are 6-8" long • curved with a pointed tip • takes two years for cones to reach maturity • cones typically clustered in the upper third tree Bark • gray to gray-green in color • smooth when young, furrowed to scaly when old • long internodes • new stems are somewhat silvery-gray Culture • easily transplanted, easily grown • prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil • sun, although young trees tolerate light shade • cold tolerant Landscape Uses • good specimen for parks or other large spaces • used as Christmas tree • performs well when sheared; however, if shearing is stopped, vigorous growth at the top overgrows lower branches • dwarf cultivars make nice borders and mass plantings Liabilities • white pine weevil is common, causing leader death, but plants recover with an altered form • wood is weak and cannot tolerant strong winds • susceptible to salt, air pollution, and white pine blister rust • often suffers significant damage from ice and heavy snows FACT : The eastern white pine has the distinction of being the tallest tree in eastern North America, and pre- colonial stands were reported over 200ft in height.

- 3. Hibiscus Syriacus Habit and Form • a deciduous, flowering shrub • 8' to 10' tall • 6' to 8' wide • upright, spreading branching • develops a vase-shaped outline • often leggy at the base • multi-stemmed with lots of vertical branches Flowers • large, showy blossoms in July, August, and September • white, pink, magenta, violet, blue, and combinations of these • 5-petaled • 2" to 4" across • single or double • flowers are solitary • produced on current season's growth Fruit • a brown capsule • 0.75" long • persists through the winter • 5-valved Bark • light gray Culture • full sun is best, but tolerant of partial shade • soils are not critical • easily transplanted • annual pruning back will result in increases shoot vigor and larger flowers • likes hot weather • may need to remove winter killed stems Landscape Uses • shrub border • screen • groupings and mass plantings • useful for late season bloom • do not use as a specimen plant • standard forms may be used as small trees Liabilities • does not have multi-season ornamental appeal • winter injury and twig dieback • late to leaf out in spring • leaf spot, cankers, rust, aphids, spider mites Scientific name: Hibiscus Syriacus Family: Malvaceae Order: Malvales Genus: Pinopsida Kingdom: Plantae FACT : It is native south-central and southeast China, but widely introduced elsewhere, including much of Asia. It was given the epithet syriacus because it had been collected from gardens in Syria. Rose-of-sharon
- 4. Pinus Cembra Habit and Form • evergreen tree • narrow dense pyramidal form when young • more open and somewhat flat-topped with drooping branches when mature • 25 to 35' tall by 10 to 20' wide • medium to fine texture • slow growth rate Flowers • monoecious • no ornamental value Fruit • violet brown cone • ovoid to elongated oval, 3" long • cones remain on tree after maturing, approx. 3 years • cones remain closed Bark • new stems covered with orange-brown pubescence • mature branches are dark Culture • prefers a well-drained, loamy soil • plant in open areas in full sun • transplants well • resistant to most pests and diseases • needs little pruning for a strong structure Landscape Uses • grouping or mass plantings • good accent tree • stays in scale to landscape for long time • possibly as a screen because of narrow canopy, but cost/availability of multiple plants is an issue Liabilities • slow growth, although this can be an asset • relatively uncommon, hard to locate Propagation • by seed, seed stratification can be benefical FACT : It is known as Arolla pine or Swiss stone pine, is a slow growing, small to medium-sized evergreen conifer (10- 12m height, occasionally 20-25m), which can live up to 1000 year Scientific name: Pinus Cembra Family: Pinaceae Order: Pinales Class: Pinopsida Kingdom: Plantae Swiss Stone Pine

Established trees have some drought tolerance • Site in locations protected from drying winds • Intolerant of frost Landscape Uses • Ornamental. • Shade tree. • Formerly planted in some populated areas as a street tree, but this use has waned as planners have shifted to using Cassia x nealiae for this purpose because this hybrid does not drop as many leaves at flowering time and does not produce any seed pods. FACT : Amaltas is the state flower of Kerala and is the national tree of Thailand.

- 6. Habit and Form • is a late summer-blooming bulb • Strap-like grayish-green leaves appear after bloom is finished. • Leaves overwinter and remain in the landscape before eventually disappearing in late spring • Height: 1.00 to 2.00 feet Spread: 1.00 to 1.50 feet Bulb • grown in organically rich, medium moisture, • Needs well-drained soils in full sun to part shade • Plant bulbs 9” apart in fall with the top • 1/4" of the neck of each bulb exposed. • grown in organically rich, medium moisture Flower • Best flowering is in part shade. • Naked flower scapes emerge from the ground in late summer to early fall, • each bearing an umbel of 4-6 showy coral-red flowers. • Each flower (to 2” long) has significantly reflexed tepals and exceptionally long stamens resembling spider legs, • Scapes typically rise to 1-2’ tall • Leaves reappear in fall after the flowers bloom. • species have a short flower tube Culture • appreciate even moisture during their growing season, • best sited in areas where soils remain relatively dry during the summer • naturalize by bulb-offsets and form small colonies • best left undisturbed in the soil • requires that bulb necks be above ground level for floral bud development in the bulb, so burying the bulbs below ground level will discourage flowering • Pot culture also has problems unless the containers are unusually large and deep so that the bulbs can establish deep and extensive root systems • If containers are too small, plants may suffer from failure-to-thrive syndrome and fail to flower Landscape Use • A popular outdoor garden plant • bulbs should be grown in large containers that are FACT : These are mostly used in Japan, and they are used to surround rice paddies and houses to keep pests and mice away.

- 9. FACT : The rhizomes, leaves and seeds of lotus are edible and are sometimes used in Asian cooking. Lotus Scientific : Nelumbo nucifera Family: Nelumbonaceae Kingdom: Plantae Order: Proteales Energy: 66.44 Calories (per 100 g) Nelumbo Nucifera About An aquatic perennial with large showy flowers, the sacred lotus has long been considered a close relative of water lilies. However, lotus flowers differ markedly from those of water lilies, most notably through the obconical (ice-cream cone-shaped) receptacle in the centre, into which numerous free carpels are sunken. Flower • typically grows 3-6’ tall in shallow water and • spreads by thickened rhizomes rooted in the mud • aquatic perennial that features rounded, parasol- like, upward-cupped, waxy green leaves (to 2’ across) • Large, cupped, fragrant, pink or white flowers (8- 12” diameter) appear in summer • Each flower blooms for about three days, opening in the morning and closing at night each day. • followed by nut-like fruits that are imbedded in the flat surface of a turbinate (inversely conical) receptacle (2-3” diameter) which resembles the shape of a watering can rose. Culture • Easily grown in organically rich loams in calm water margins in full sun. • Winter hardy as long as the roots do not freeze • For water gardens or small ponds, plant roots in large containers or planting baskets with up to 24” of water covering the crowns. • For naturalizing in larger ponds, roots may be anchored directly in the muddy bottom near the water margin where, once established, they will spread and colonize. • In fall, containers submerged in very shallow water (less than 6”) should be moved into deeper water or brought indoors (basement, root cellar or other frost-free area) for overwintering. Landscape Use • Flowers, seed receptacles and foliage are all unique, attractive and interesting additions to a water garden or pond General Information Common Name: Lotus Height: 3.00 to 6.00 feet Spread: 3.00 to 4.00 feet Bloom Description: Pink or white Sun: Full sun Water: Wet Maintenance: Low Bloom Time: June to July Suggested Use: Annual, Water Plant, Rain Garden Flower: Showy, Fragrant
