De tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica) heeft glanzende tot ovaal vormige bladeren. De tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica) krijgt een mooie piramidale kroon die word gevormd door takken die sterk afhangen. Hierdoor vormt zich op den duur een breed eivormige, bijna ronde kroon. Het is de herfstkleur waardoor de tupelo zo opvalt. In het najaar toont de tupelo zich uitzonderlijk mooi in donkerrode, oranje en soms gele tinten voordat het blad afvalt. Plaats bij de boom een boompaal en aanplanten in aanplantgrond.

Symmetrical, uniform branch structure and straight central leader make this cultivar both easier to grow and more beautiful in the landscape. High gloss foliage shines through the summer and then turns bright red in fall, burning brightly after most seedling tupelo have defoliated.

Salix matsudana 'Pendula' Corkscrew Willow, Hankow Willow, Peking Willow Type Tree, woody plant Hardy range 4B to 8A Height 10' to 15' / 3.00m to 4.60m Spread 12' to 20' / 3.60m to 6.00m Growth rate Fast Form Rounded and weeping Exposure Partial shade or partial sun to full sun Persistence Deciduous EnvironmentThis plant tolerates drought, occasional wetness and salt well. This plant will grow in very dry to occasionally wet soil. Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy, sandy or clay. The pH preference is an acidic to slightly alkaline (less than 6.8 to 7.7) soil. Leaf Color Green Fall Color Yellow This plant has attractive fall colors. Culture NotesPlace in full sun and in a prominent location. Trees are very susceptible to damage from ice loads. Trees are considered poor compartmentalizers of decay. This means decay can develop and spread quickly following mechanical injury from construction activities near the tree, vandalism, storm damage, or improper pruning cuts. Maintain adequate mulch areaClear all turf away from beneath the branches and mulch to the drip line, especially on young trees, to reduce competition with turf and weeds. This will allow roots to become well established and keep plants healthier. Prune the tree so trunks and branches will not rub each other. Remove some secondary branches on main branches with included bark. This reduces the likelihood of the main branch splitting from the tree later when it has grown to become an important part of the landscape. Locate the tree properly, taking into account the ultimate size, since the tree looks best if it is not pruned to control size. The tree can enhance any landscape with its delightful spring flush of foliage. It can be the centerpiece of your landscape if properly located. Tree establishment specificationsChoose good quality trees for planting. The most common cause of young tree failure is planting too deep. In most instances, the point where the top-most root in the root ball originates from the trunk (referred to as the root flare zone or root collar) should be located just above the soil surface. You may have to dig into the root ball to find the root flare. If there is nursery soil over this area, scrape it off. Never place ANY soil over the root ball. The planting hole should be at least twice the width of the root ball, preferably wider because roots grow best in loose soil. In all but exceptional circumstances where the soil is very poor, extensive research clearly shows that there is no need to incorporate any amendments into the backfill soil. Simply use the loosened soil that came out of the planting hole. Simply planting with the topmost portion of the root ball slightly higher than the surrounding soil might still install the tree too deep - be sure to locate the root flare. Weed suppression during establishment is essential. Apply a 3-inch thick layer of mulch to at least a six-foot diameter circle around the tree. This area should be at least two feet in diameter for each inch of tree trunk diameter and maintained during the establishment period. Apply a thinner layer of mulch directly over the root ball but keep it at least 10 inches from the trunk. This allows rainwater, irrigation and air to easily enter the root ball and keeps the trunk dry. Placing mulch against the trunk and applying too thick a layer above the root ball can kill the plant by oxygen starvation, death of bark, stem and root diseases, prevention of hardening off for winter, vole and other rodent damage to the trunk, keeping soil too wet, or repelling water. Regular irrigation after planting encourages rapid root growth that is essential for tree establishment. Trees provided with regular irrigation through the first growing season after transplanting require about 3 months (hardiness zones 9-11), 6 months (hardiness zones 7-8), or one year or more (hardiness zones 2-6) per inch of trunk diameter to fully establish roots in the landscape soil. Trees in desert climates may take longer to establish. Trees that are under-irrigated during this establishment period (and most trees are) often require additional time to establish because roots grow more slowly. Be prepared to irrigate through the entire establishment period, especially during periods of drought. Irrigation also helps maintain and encourage the desirable dominant leader in the tree canopy on large-maturing trees. Instead of a dominant leader, trees that are under-irrigated during the establishment period often develop undesirable, low, co-dominant stems and double leaders that can split from the tree later. Unlike established plants, which do best with deep, infrequent irrigation, research clearly shows that recently transplanted trees and shrubs establish quickest with light, frequent irrigation. For trees planted in spring or summer, provide one (cooler hardiness zones) to three irrigations (warmer hardiness zones) each week during the first few months after planting. Daily irrigation in the warmest hardiness zones provides the quickest establishment. Following the initial few months of frequent irrigation, provide weekly irrigation until plants are fully established. With every irrigation, apply one (cool climates) to two (warm climates) gallons of water per inch trunk diameter (e.g. 2 to 4 gallons for a 2-inch tree) over the root ball only. In most landscapes that receive more than 30 inches of rain or irrigation annually, if the mulch area is maintained weed-free, irrigation does not need to be applied outside of the root ball. Never add water if the root ball is saturated. In cooler hardiness zones, in all but the driest years, irrigation of spring- and summer-planted trees usually can be discontinued once fall color has begun. Irrigation of fall planted trees, however, should be continued until foliage has dropped from the deciduous trees in the region. In warmer climates, irrigate fall-and winter-planted trees as described for the spring- and summer-planted trees. In drier, desert climates there is benefit to be gained from applying additional irrigation outside of the root ball area. This is best done by making a large diameter berm four to six inches high, then filling it with water so it percolates into the soil. For the first two years, irrigate twice each week through the spring, once per week in summer provided monsoons arrive, and twice each week again in fall if it remains warm. Taper off watering to once or twice each month in winter and resume twice weekly next spring. For years three to five, water twice per month in spring, summer, and fall and once or twice per month in winter. During years five through seven, water once every three weeks in warm weather and once every six weeks in winter. After this, the drought-tolerant desert trees should be able to survive on natural rainfall. Trees with good, strong structure need no pruning at planting, except to remove broken twigs. Do not remove branches to compensate for root loss - research has shown that this can be detrimental to establishment. Magnolia virginiana 'Santa Rosa' Laurel Magnolia, Swamp Magnolia, Sweetbay Magnolia Type Tree, woody plant Hardy range 5A to 10A Height 25' to 50' / 7.60m to 15.20m Spread 15' to 25' / 4.60m to 7.60m Growth rate Average Form Columnar and vase shaped Exposure Partial shade or partial sun to full sun Persistence Evergreen and semi-evergreen Bloom Color White Bloom Time SummerThe flowers are fragrant and showy. EnvironmentThis plant tolerates flooding and a little salt. This plant will grow in wet or submerged soil. Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy, sandy or clay. The pH preference is an acidic to neutral (less than 6.8 to 7.2) soil. Leaf Color Green Fall Color No change in fall color This plant has attractive foliage. Culture NotesSweetbay Magnolia roots easily from softwood cuttings, grows well near the coast, and is happiest in Southern climates in wet places similar to its native habitat. Despite it tolerance to wet soil, it grows well in non-irrigated landscapes, provided there is plenty of soil for root expansion. In the confined soil spaces typical of urban areas, occasional irrigation is recommended. It has not been planted extensively in downtown urban areas, but its flood and drought tolerance and narrow crown combine to make it a good candidate. Flowers provide a wonderful fragrance to any landscape. This cultivar has shiny dark green leaves and a beautiful compact flower. Plants serve as hosts for butterfly larvae.

This usually corresponds to the initiation of root growth. Nyssa sylvatica Black Tupelo, Black Gum, Sour Gum Type Tree, woody plant Hardy range 4B to 9A Height 30' to 75' / 9.20m to 22.80m Spread 25' to 35' / 7.60m to 10.60m Growth rate Slow Form Oval and pyramidal Exposure Partial shade or partial sun to full sun Persistence Deciduous Bloom Color White Bloom Time Spring EnvironmentThis plant tolerates drought, flooding and some salt. This plant will grow in very dry to wet or submerged soil. Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy, sandy or clay. The pH preference is an acidic to neutral (less than 6.8 to 7.2) soil. Leaf Color Green Fall Color Orange and red This plant has attractive fall colors. Culture NotesThere may not be a more colorful foliage in the fall than that of this wonderful tee. Sourgum prefers a moist, slightly acid soil. Like some large seeded tree species, larger specimens may be difficult to transplant from deep, well-drained field soil because of its deep roots and should only be transplanted from the field in the spring. Root pruning regularly during production is also recommended to develop a more compact roots system. Small caliper trees (less than 2 inches caliper) transplant better than larger ones. Therefore, it is usually offered in containers at the nursery. Containers designed to minimize root circling are recommended. Trees are reported to be capable of living at least 300 years. Variety biflora can survive flooding for at least two years as a seedling. Plants serve as hosts for butterfly larvae. Due to the coarse root system, the tree is often raised in fabric containers in field soil, is regularly root-pruned in the field, or is grown in air root-pruning or copper root-pruning containers. The container systems allow for less circling roots along the edge of the root ball; the field systems may result in a greater portion of the root system harvested. Trees, especially those not on wet sites, defoliate early in the southern portion of its range, remaining bare for 6 months. The large buttress trunk is thought to develop in response to the instability of the root system inherent to trees growing in soft submerged soil. Trees are very tolerant of urban conditions and have survived and grow well along streets. Little pruning is required to form a well-structured tree since the trunk stays straight and branches usually grow at wide angles with the trunk. Branches are usually small in diameter and do not form included bark. Sourgum makes a good street or parking lot tree, possibly for downtown areas but will not keep foliage well into the fall. It will benefit from occasional irrigation in droughts. The tree does amazingly well in wet, compacted soils typical of many urban areas with highly disturbed clay soil. It is also somewhat salt- and drought-tolerant for planting along the shore. One or two selections have been make for leaf size, canopy density and uniformity, and fall foliage color. Wood is considered diffuse porous meaning that there is little difference in size of pores between spring and summer wood. Trees tend to have a low failure rate meaning that branches break from these trees less often than from some other trees. Female trees produce fruit but no pollen; males generate copious pollen that contributes to the allergy problems in spring.Maintain adequate mulch area Clear all turf away from beneath the branches and mulch to the drip line, especially on young trees, to reduce competition with turf and weeds. This will allow roots to become well established and keep plants healthier. Prune the tree so trunks and branches will not rub each other.

Quercus palustris Pin Oak, Swamp Oak Type Tree, woody plant Hardy range 4A to 8A Height 50' to 75' / 15.20m to 22.80m Spread 35' to 50' / 10.60m to 15.20m Growth rate Average Form Pyramidal Exposure Full sun Persistence Deciduous Bloom Color Brown EnvironmentThis plant tolerates some drought, flooding and a little salt. This plant will grow in dry to wet or submerged soil. Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy, sandy or clay. The pH preference is an acidic to neutral (less than 6.8 to 7.2) soil. Leaf Color Green Fall Color Copper and redThis plant has attractive fall colors. Culture NotesPin Oak develops nicely on moist, acid soils and is tolerant of compaction, wet soil and urban conditions. It is very sensitive to soil pH above the high 6's. A native to stream banks and flood plains, Pin Oak grows well in areas where water stands for several weeks at a time. One of the adaptive mechanisms of Pin Oak is a fibrous, shallow root system which allows it to tolerate flooded soil conditions once established in the landscape. Plant trees in a slightly raised mound or bed if soil is poorly drained. Prune any double or multiple leaders out as soon as they are recognized. Several prunings will be needed in the first 15 to 20 years after planting. Plants have been rooted from cuttings. Lower branches droop toward the ground as the tree grows. Trees are considered poor compartmentalizers of decay. This means decay can develop and spread quickly following mechanical injury from construction activities near the tree, vandalism, storm damage, or improper pruning cuts. However, trees are very tolerant of urban conditions and have survived and grow well along streets. Trees in alkaline soils can be treated with iron to help keep them green. Although this greens plants up for a couple of years, regular treatment is needed every three years or so to keep trees green. Wood weighs about 63 pounds per cubic foot. Oak wood is considered ring porous to semi-ring porous.

Never add water if the root ball is saturated. In cooler hardiness zones, in all but the driest years, irrigation of spring- and summer-planted trees usually can be discontinued once fall color has begun. Irrigation of fall planted trees, however, should be continued until foliage has dropped from the deciduous trees in the region. In warmer climates, irrigate fall-and winter-planted trees as described for the spring- and summer-planted trees. In drier, desert climates there is benefit to be gained from applying additional irrigation outside of the root ball area. This is best done by making a large diameter berm four to six inches high, then filling it with water so it percolates into the soil. For the first two years, irrigate twice each week through the spring, once per week in summer provided monsoons arrive, and twice each week again in fall if it remains warm. Taper off watering to once or twice each month in winter and resume twice weekly next spring. For years three to five, water twice per month in spring, summer, and fall and once or twice per month in winter. During years five through seven, water once every three weeks in warm weather and once every six weeks in winter. After this, the drought-tolerant desert trees should be able to survive on natural rainfall. Trees with good, strong structure need no pruning at planting, except to remove broken twigs. Do not remove branches to compensate for root loss - research has shown that this can be detrimental to establishment. Cornus stolonifera syn. Cornus sericea 'Cardinal' Red Osier Dogwood, American Dogwood Type Shrub, woody plant Hardy range 3A to 7B Height 8' to 10' / 2.40m to 3.00m Spread 8' to 10' / 2.40m to 3.00m Growth rate Average Form Rounded and upright or erect Exposure Partial shade or partial sun to full sun Persistence Deciduous Bloom Color White Bloom Time Spring The flowers are showy. EnvironmentThis plant tolerates some drought and flooding. This plant will grow in dry to wet or submerged soil. Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy, sandy or clay. The pH preference is an acidic to alkaline (less than 6.8 to more than 7.7) soil. Leaf Color Green Fall Color Red This plant has attractive fall colors. Culture NotesRed Osier Dogwood can be grown in full sun or partial shade on moist to wet, acid, well-drained, and cool soil. Keep a mulch around the root system to encourage vigorous root growth. This is certainly one of the better cultivars for red stem color. Bright red stems are showy all winter. Red twig color fades in the southern portion of its range. This plant is considered mostly allergy free and causes little or no allergy problems in most people. Plants serve as hosts for butterfly larvae. Planting and establishing shrubsThe most common cause of young plant failure is planting too deep. Plant the root ball no deeper than it was in the nursery. In most instances, the root flare zone (point where the top-most root in the root ball originates from the trunk) should be located just above the landscape soil surface. Sometimes plants come from the nursery with soil over the root flare. If there is soil over this area, scrape it off. The planting hole should be at least twice the width of the root ball, preferably wider. In all but exceptional circumstances where the soil is very poor, there is no need to incorporate anything into the backfill soil except the loosened soil that came out of the planting hole. Never place ANY soil over the root ball. If a row or grouping of plants is to be installed, excavating or loosening the soil in the entire bed and incorporating organic matter enhances root growth and establishment rate. Weed suppression during establishment is essential. Apply a 3-inch thick layer of mulch around the plant to help control weed growth. Keep it at least 10 inches from the trunk. If you apply it over the root ball, apply only a one or two inch layer. This allows rainwater and air to easily enter the root ball and keeps the trunk dry. Placing mulch against the trunk or applying too thick a layer above the root ball can kill the plant by oxygen starvation, death of bark, stem and root diseases, prevention of hardening off for winter, vole and other rodent damage to the trunk, keeping soil too wet, or repelling water. Regular irrigation through the first growing season after planting encourages rapid root growth, which is essential for quick plant establishment.
