Tree Larix kaempferi [Japanese Larch] The Japanese Larch is a very large (up to 90' by 40'), conical, deciduous conifer with broad, horizontal branches. The bright green needles become an attractive golden-yellow in the fall. Should be given ample room to grow.
Shrub Ligustrum amurense [Amur Privet] Performs well as an informal hedge, but perhaps too coarse to be a good formal clipped hedge. Extremely tolerant of different soils and climates. Can be coppiced to rejuvenate. Can be invasive by seed.
Shrub InvasiveThis plant is considered invasive Ligustrum obtusifolium [Border Privet] Performs well as an informal hedge, but perhaps too coarse to be a good formal clipped hedge. Extremely tolerant of different soils and climates. Can be coppiced to rejuvenate. Can be invasive by seed.
Shrub InvasiveThis plant is considered invasive Ligustrum obtusifolium var. regelianum [Regelianum Border Privet] Ligustrum obtusifolium var. regelianum adds an interesting textural effect to the landscape with its horizontally arranged branches and distichously arranged (in one, flat plane) leaves. An excellent plant used as an informal hedge, but perhaps too coarse to be a good formal clipped hedge. Extremely tolerant of different soils and climates. Can be coppiced to rejuvenate. Can be invasive by seed.
Tree Indiana Native Liriodendron tulipifera [Tuliptree] Handsome, tall shade tree with strong central leader. Performs best in good soil with adequate moisture. Variable in hardiness, depending on geographic source. Use native stock when possible. State tree of Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Slightly weak-wooded. Subject to damage in very windy sites. Subject to aphid and scale insects when weakened. Needs good drainage and a lot of soil (tree lawn may be too small). Its poorly branched fleshy root system (taproot)…
Tree Liriodendron tulipifera 'JFS-Oz' [sold as Emerald City®] [Emerald City® Tulip Tree] 'JFS-Oz' is a cultivar with a bright yellow fall color and more glossy dark green foliage in summer. It has a more compact oval-upright form with a strong central leader than other varieties, while keeping its classic green-yellow-orange tulip-like flowers.
Shrub Lonicera fragrantissima [Winter Honeysuckle] Widely adapted to different soils and exposures. More drought-tolerant, and also not a weed problem, like some other Lonicera. Branches can be forced indoors in winter to provide fragrance. Renewal pruning to a low framework every 5-8 years is helpful to maintain nice form and vigor.
Shrub InvasiveThis plant is considered invasive Lonicera maackii [Amur Honeysuckle] Widely adaptable to different soils and exposures. Can be trained into a small patio tree. Suckers freely, requiring pruning in intensive situations. Seeds, carried by birds, germinate freely, and weed seedlings result. High shade tolerance contributes greatly to its highly invasive character. Perhaps the worst woody weed in the Midwestern and Northwestern US.
Shrub InvasiveThis plant is considered invasive Lonicera tatarica [Tatarian Honeysuckle] Widely adapted to different soils and exposures, but avoid wet soils. Pruning of dead twigs is required periodically. Renewal pruning to a low framework every 5-8 years is helpful to maintain nice form and vigor. Russian aphid, which causes witches brooming, is a significant pest. Lonicera tatarica readily invades open woodlands, old fields, and other disturbed sites. It can spread rapidly due to birds and mammals dispersing the seeds and can form an extremely dense…
