Malus 'Adirondack' Crabapple  Botanical Name: Malus 'Adirondack' (NA 54943; PI 499828) Family: Rosaceae Hardiness: U.S.D.A. Zone 4 - 8 Development  Five hundred open-pollinated seedlings of Malus halliana were artificially inoculated with fire blight under control conditions. Of the sixty surviving seedlings, several showed field resistance to scab, cedar-apple rust, and powdery mildew when exposed to natural inoculum from heavily infected, susceptible plants during eleven years of field trial. 'Adirondack' was selected from this seedling population in 1974 by Donald R. Egolf and released in 1987. Significance 'Adirondack' exhibits a combination of many desirable traits that make it a near-perfect crabapple. The narrow obovate, upright-branched growth habit combines with an annual bloom cycle, abundant, small, persistent fruit, slow to moderate growth rate, and multiple disease tolerance that is rare in crabapple. Highly rated for both aesthetics and disease resistance by the International Ornamental Crabapple Society. Description Height and Width: 18 feet tall and 16 feet crown width at 20 years. Habit Narrow obovate, upright-branched small tree. Maintains upright form with age. Foliage Leathery dark green leaves. The foliage is highly tolerant to cedar apple rust, apple scab, and powdery mildew. Flowers Annual flowering. Dark carmine buds mature to a lighter red and open to white, waxy, heavy-textured, wide-spreading flowers with traces of red; slightly fragrant. Fruit A pome. Abundant, bright orange-red, hard, small (1/2-inch) fruit persist until early winter. Relished by birds after softened by freezing. Culture Adaptable to diverse soil, moisture, and climatic conditions. Requires virtually no pruning to maintain its shape nor chemical controls for the common crabapple diseases. Propagation Most commercial propagation is by budding or grafting onto compatible rootstocks. Roots easily from softwood cuttings in late spring, under mist, 3000 ppm IBA, in 4 weeks. Landscape Use Effective for foundation plantings of buildings or formal gardens; as a specimen for space-limited situations; a strong focal accent in the shrub border or residential garden; park and recreational area screen; roadside or street tree where shade is not important.EXCLAMATION! ™ London planetree Platanus acerifolia 'Morton Circle' Is an introduction that is resistant to anthracnose and frost cracking. Has a strong central leader, uniform upright pyramidal shape, densely branched, excellent tolerance to difficult urban conditions. Exclamation! ™ develops exquisite exfoliating bark at an early age and shows good resistance to powdery mildew. Mature Height: 55-65 feet Mature Width: 40-50 feet Light Exposure: Full sun (6 hrs direct light daily) Hardiness Zones: Zone 4, Soil Preference: Moist, well-drained soil Salt Spray: Tolerant Drought Conditions: Tolerant Poor Drainage: Moderately Tolerant Ornamental Interest: Showy fruit, Attractive bark Season of Interest: Early winter, Mid-winter, Late winter, Early fall Flower Color & Fragrance: Inconspicuous Shape or Form: Pyramidal Growth Rate: Fast Transplants Well: Yes Wildlife: Birds, Insect pollinators, Small mammalsQuercus rubra Common Name: Northern Red Oak | Type: Tree Family: Fagaceae  | Native Range: Eastern North America Zone: 4 to 8 | Height: 50.00 to 75.00 feet  | Spread: 50.00 to 75.00 feet Bloom Time: May  | Bloom Description: Yellowish-green Sun: Full sun | Water: Dry to medium Maintenance: Low  | Suggested Use: Shade Tree, Street Tree Flower: Insignificant | Leaf: Good Fall Tolerate: Drought, Dry Soil, Black Walnut, Air Pollution Culture Easily grown in average, dry to medium moisture, acidic soil in full sun. Prefers fertile, sandy, finely-textured soils with good drainage. Noteworthy Characteristics Quercus rubra, commonly called red oak or northern red oak, is a medium sized, deciduous tree with a rounded to broad-spreading, often irregular crown. Typically grows at a moderate-to-fast rate to a height of 50-75' (often larger in the wild). Dark, lustrous green leaves (grayish-white beneath) with 7-11, toothed lobes which are sharply pointed at the tips. Leaves turn brownish-red in autumn. Insignificant flowers in separate male and female catkins appear in spring. Fruits are acorns (with flat, saucer-shaped cups) which mature in early fall. An abundant crop of acorns may not occur before this tree reaches 40 years old. A Missouri native tree which typically occurs on northern- and eastern-facing wooded slopes throughout the State. Genus name comes from the classical Latin name for oak trees. Specific epithet means red. Problems Generally a durable and long-lived tree. Susceptible to oak wilt which is a systemic fungal disease that has no cure. Chlorosis (yellowing of the leaves while the veins remain green) often occurs when soils are not sufficiently acidic.Firefall™ Maple Acer x freemanii 'Firefall' Firefall™ has an upright-oval form with good branch angles. This selection is male and therefore does not produce nuisance seeds. The foliage is an attractive medium green throughout the summer. Fall color is bright orange to scarlet and develops fairly early. This is a distinct advantage over some  existing Freeman maple cultivars that color later and often do not develop much color in northern regions before freezing temperatures cause the foliage tomdrop.

Celtis occidentalis Species Native to Missouri Common Name: hackberry  | Type: Tree Family: Cannabaceae Native Range: Central and northeastern North America Zone: 2 to 9 | Height: 40.00 to 60.00 feet Spread: 40.00 to 60.00 feet  | Bloom Time: April to May Bloom Description: Green | Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium to wet  | Maintenance: Low Suggested Use: Shade Tree, Street Tree, Rain Garden Flower: Insignificant | Attracts: Birds, Butterflies Fruit: Edible | Tolerate: Drought, Clay Soil, Wet Soil, Air Pollution Culture Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates part shade. Also tolerates wind, many urban pollutants and a wide range of soil conditions, including both wet, dry and poor soils. Noteworthy Characteristics Celtis occidentalis, commonly called common hackberry, is a medium to large sized deciduous tree that typically grows 40-60’ (less frequently to 100’) tall with upright-arching branching and a rounded spreading crown. Trunk diameter ranges from 1-3’ (less frequently to 4’). This tree is a U.S. native that is widely distributed throughout the east and midwest. It is common in Missouri where it typically occurs statewide in low woods along streams and in drier upland slopes (Steyemark). Mature gray bark develops corky ridges and warty texture. Insignificant, mostly monoecious, greenish flowers appear in spring (April–May), with male flowers in clusters and female flowers solitary. Female flowers give way to an often abundant fruit crop of round fleshy berry-like drupes maturing to deep purple. Each drupe has one round brown seed within. Fruits are attractive to a variety of wildlife. Birds consume the fruits and disperse the seeds. Fleshy parts of the fruit are edible and somewhat sweet. Ovate to oblong-ovate, rough-textured, glossy to dull green leaves (2-5” long) have mostly uneven leaf bases and are coarsely toothed from midleaf to acuminate (sharply pointed) tip. Undistinguished yellow fall color. Genus name comes from the Greek name for another tree. Specific epithet means Western. Problems Hackberry nipple gall is so common in the St. Louis area that it is often used as an aid in identifying the tree. Although the galls do not hurt the tree, they often significantly disfigure the leaves. Witches’ broom (dwarfed, dense, contorted twig clusters at the branch ends) is also somewhat common. It also does little harm to the tree, but can be quite unsightly. Powdery mildew, leaf spot and root rot may occur. Watch for lacebugs and scale.
