Beech Loop Cornell Plantations Plant List Last Updated 8/3/12 scientific name common name Acer rubrum 'Autumn Radiance' RED MAPLE Aesculus ×bushii HORSECHESTNUT Aesculus ×carnea 'Fort McNair' RED HORSECHESTNUT Aesculus ×woerlitzensis HYBRID BUCKEYE Aesculus flava YELLOW BUCKEYE Aesculus glabra 'Fall Red' OHIO BUCKEYE Aesculus sylvatica 'Autumn Splendor' PAINTED BUCKEYE 1 notes Tree with a dense oval form and brilliant orange-‐red fall color (DS 597). Tree with rounded form reaching 45' in height and 40' in width with brilliant red fall color occuring earlier than either of its 'Red Sunset' or 'October Glory' parents (Schichtel's 2001) Tree with branches and petioles pubescent, leaflets finely serrate, pubescent beneath; flowers with yellow and pink petals and stamens longer than the petals. Fruit somewhat warty. A round-‐headed tree reaching 30-‐40' in height with good quality foliage (although still subject to some leaf spot and mildew), with yellow-‐throated pink flowers. Arborvillage 2001 catalog: small tree with dense rounded crown at maturity and foliage that holds well late into the season; flowers dark pink, held in 6-‐8" long panicles. Tree to 20 m; leaflets 5-‐7, obovate-‐oblong, to 16 cm, yellow-‐green with slightly hairy midrib beneath; flowers in erect panicles to 20 cm, calyx tube-‐like, petals red; summer [DS 350]. Similar to A. pavia but easily distinguished by the shaggy, ciliate petals [DS 5]. Tree with an upright-‐oval to slightly spreading crown reaching 60'-‐75' in height; fall color orange-‐brown; foliage less troubled by leaf spot than A. glabra; bark gray and brown, with age forming flat, smooth plates and scales. Flowers yellow, borne in erect 6"-‐ 7" long, 2"-‐3" wide panicles in May. A selection with red fall color rather than the typical pumpkin-‐orange. Selected at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum scientific name common name Aesculus turbinata JAPANESE HORSECHESTNUT Betula uber VIRGINIA ROUND-‐LEAF BIRCH Carya cordiformis BITTERNUT Carya illinoensis -‐ northern variety PECAN Carya laciniosa SHELLBARK HICKORY Catalpa ×erubescens 'J.C. Teas' CATALPA 2 notes Tree to 30 m, occasionally to 40 m in its native habitat, narrowly upright and slow-‐ growing; winter buds resinous, leaves very large (the largest of the genus), leaflets 5-‐7, cuneate-‐oblong, 20-‐30 cm long, serrate, bluish beneath, frequently with pubescent venation. Flowers borne in 15-‐25 cm long panicles, petals yellowish-‐white with red spots, borne in June, 2-‐3 weeks after A. hippocastanum. Fruit star-‐shaped, rough or warty. Branching habit is distinctive in that the major branches begin on the upper part of the trunk and give rise to many relatively slender, spreading branchlets. The bark hash horizontal lenticels and has a strong essence of wintergreen that is similar to that of B. lenta. The leaves, which are the most distinguishable aspect of the tree, are suborbicular-‐cordate, with 3 to 6 pairs of lateral veins. Slender tree reaching 50' to 75' in height with a rather irregular, cylindrical crown of stiff, ascending branches, often widest at the top. Supposedly the fastest growing of the hickories; seeds are bitter. Tree reaching 70' to 100' in height and 40' to 75' in width, the largest of the hickories, tall and straight, with a uniform, symmetrical, broadly ovate crown. The best hickory for edible nuts. Tree reaching 60' to 80' or more in height; high branching with a straight, slender trunk, and narrow oblong crown of small spreading branches, the lower drooping, the upper ascending. The seed is sweet and edible. Possesses interesting "shaggy" bark similar to that of C. ovata. Very strongly growing tree with purple new growth. Leaves very large, often to 60 cm long, ovate or slightly 3-‐lobed, cordate, softly pubescent beneath. Flowers white with yellow patches and small purple dots, effective from late July into August. A seeedling selection made by J.C. Teas. scientific name Catalpa ovata Cornus kousa Crataegus crus-‐galli Crataegus crus-‐galli 'Cruzam' CRUSADER Crataegus phaenopyrum 'Lustre' Crataegus punctata 'Ohio Pioneer' common name notes Broad tree to 10 m in height; twigs glabrous, only rarely pubescent. Leaves wide, cordate-‐ ovate, 10-‐25 cm long, abruptly acuminate, usually 3(-‐5)-‐lobed, rich green above, lighter green beneath with pubescent venation and CATALPA red glandular spots in the vein axils. Flowers 2.5 cm wide, white, yellow inside with purple spots and stripes, crispate, held in 10-‐25 cm long panicles. Plants 20-‐30' tall with an equal spread. Flower bracts creamy white, appearing about two weeks after those of C. florida, with bracts persisting for about 6 weeks, often KOUSA DOGWOOD becoming pinkish with age. Bark exfoliating with age forming a mottled mosaic of gray, tan and rich brown. Flowers 1/2" to 2/3" diameter, white, of disagreeable odor, borne in May, effective for 7 to 10 days, borne in 2" to 3" diameter flat corymbs. Fruit a pome-‐like drupe, deep COCKSPUR HAWTHORN red, 3/8" to 1/2" diameter, ripening in late September, October, and persisting into late fall. Fall color bronze-‐red to purplish-‐red. Plants 20' to 30' tall, 20' to 35' wide. Plants 10'-‐15' tall, 15' wide, rounded in shape with glossy green, disease-‐resistant foliage that assumes orange tints in fall. Fruit red; COCKSPUR THORN flowers white; bark silver-‐gray. Dirr (DS 318) sees no difference between 'Inermis' and 'Crusader'. A small tree selected for precocious and profuse flower production and improved vigor. Forest Farm 2001 notes this has fewer WASHINGTON HAWTHORN thorns and is more showy in flower than the type. Plants to 25' in height;thornless, large clusters of white flowers are produced in OHIO PIONEER DOTTED HAWTHORN abundance, followed by dotted, brick-‐red 3/4" fruits. Symmetrical, horizontally spreading growth habit. 3 scientific name common name Crataegus viridis 'Winter King' Gold Medal WINTER KING HAWTHORN Fagus grandifolia AMERICAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica EUROPEAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica -‐ copper-‐leaved selection EUROPEAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica -‐ fastigiate form FASTIGIATE EUROPEAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica 'Asplenifolia' FERN-‐LEAF EUROPEAN BECH Fagus sylvatica 'Laciniata' CUT-‐LEAF EUROPEAN BEECH 4 notes The fruits are larger than those of the species, and are a good red. Less susceptible to rust than other hawthorns, although Dirr notes having seen fruits badly infected when foliage showed very little infection; he also notes this could be a hybrid because it does not match the characteristics of the species well. Plants 50-‐70' in height with a maximum of 100-‐120'; spread is usually less than or equal to height. Bark thin, smooth, light bluish-‐gray almost silvery on young stems; of a similar nature on mature trees but darker. Fall color beautiful golden bronze, and the leaves often persist into winter. Densely pyramidal to oval or rounded tree, branching to the ground, reaching 50' to 60' in height, 35' to 45' in width; can attain 100' in height. Foliage unfolds a shimmering green, gradually changing to lustrous dark green in the summer, and assuming rich russet and golden bronze colors in the fall. Large tree, height of 160 ft and 10 ft around. Trunck log slender light-‐gray, erect branches. Veiny broad leaves. Buds long and slender. `Fastigiata' is the name given to all other columnar European beeches which are occasionally encountered. One such form was propagated by Simon Louis Freres in 1873 at Metz, France; this plant is presumably no longer in cultivation (DS 6). Gracefully cut leaves that offer a fern-‐like appearance; the lustrous dark green leaves turn an excellent golden-‐brown in the fall (DS 9). Leaves very narrow, deeply toothed or lobed (DS 3). A rather confusing group of serrate-‐leaved beeches. Leaves ovate-‐lanceolate, with 7 to 9 rather deep and regular serrations on each side, the sinuses extending about 1/3 of the way to the midrib. Considerable variation in the degree of serration occurs on any one tree. scientific name common name Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula' WEEPING EUROPEAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica 'Prince George of Crete' EUROPEAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea Tricolor' EUROPEAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica 'Rotundifolia' ROUND-‐LEAVED EUROPEAN BEECH Fagus sylvatica 'Tortuosa' EUROPEAN BEECH Frangula alnus 'Asplenifolia' CUTLEAF ALDER BUCKTHORN Kalopanax septemlobus CASTOR ARALIA 5 notes Growth slow when young; main branches more or less horizontal or curved upward, side branches usually hanging vertically (DS 6). No two trees are exactly alike; sometimes the branches are horizontal for a distance and turn down forming a large tent-‐like mass; other trees have a central leader from which the branches hang down at various angles from 60 to 40 degrees to almost "arms at one's side" (DS 9). A striking form with very large leaves. Leaves purplish, narrower than normal, edged and striped with rose and pinkish white. Very attractive when the leaves are young. The tree at Kew Gardens when seen from a distance has the aspect of a small-‐ leaved and slender copper beech. Slender and upright in youth, becoming low and wide with age; branches erect, leaves rounded to circular, 1.5-‐3.5 cm wide, base occasionally slightly cordate. A variable form with uniquely twisted trunk and branches, usually forming a wide-‐ spreading, mounded dome of foliage, seldom reaching more than 10' in height. A beautiful form, especially in winter when the branching structure is highlighted by snow (DS 9). Plants reach 10' to 12' in height, 6' to 10' in width; slow growing. Foliage not cut, but is narrowed and has an irregular margin, creating a very fine texture. Upright-‐oval and gaunt when young, reaching 40'-‐60' in cultivation and becoming oval-‐rounded and massive in outline. Bark on young stems armed with stout, broad-‐based yellowish prickles, bark on mature trunk blackish, deeply ridged and furrowed. Flowers perfect, white, produced in numerous 1"-‐diameter umbels, effective in June & July. Fruit a 1/6" diameter black drupe ripening in Sept.-‐Oct. scientific name common name Larix decidua EUROPEAN LARCH Phellodendron amurense AMUR CORK TREE Phellodendron amurense 'His Majesty' AMUR CORK TREE Phellodendron amurense 'Macho' AMUR CORK TREE Phellodendron amurense 'PNI 4551' SHADEMASTER AMUR CORK TREE Phellodendron japonicum CORK TREE Phellodendron lavallei 'Longnecker' EYE STOPPER CORK TREE 6 notes Pyramidal tree with horizontal branches and drooping branchlets, slender and supple in youth, but irregular and lacking in dignity with age, reaching 70' to 75' in height, 25' to 30' in width; can attain 100' to 140' in height. Fall color ochre yellow, often spectacular. Difficult to distinguish from L. kaempferi but has narrower needles, and cones without reflexed scales. plants reach 30' to 45' in height with an equal or greater spread. Fall color yellow or bronzy yellow, persisting only briefly. Flowers dioecious, yellowish-‐green, borne in 2" to 3 1/2" long panicles in late May to early June, not showy. Fruit a subglobose, black, 1/2" to 3/5" diameter drupe with strong oder when bruised, ripening in October and persisting into the winter. Bark on older trunks ridged and furrowed;a very beautiful and unusual pattern. Plants reach 25-‐35' in height and 30' in width developing a rounded crown with a slightly more open form than the type and with improved winter hardiness; fall color is yellow; seedless. Tree reaching 25-‐35' in height and 30' in width developing a broadly vase-‐shaped habit. A male selection with thick, leathery foliage and handsome corky bark. Strong-‐growing male selection that reaches 30-‐35' in height and withstands difficult growing conditions. Small, erect tree reaching 5 (10) m in height with thin plate-‐like, finely channeled, deep brown trunk bark; young shoots red-‐brown; leaves 25-‐35 cm long, leaflets 9-‐13, ovate to oval-‐oblong, 6-‐10 cm long, fruits black, 1 cm thick, held in erect panicles, effective in September. An upright-‐spreading tree reaching 40' in height and 35' in width, becoming spreading-‐ globose with age. Summer foliage medium green, fall color bright, clear yellow. Original tree growing at Longnecker Gardens at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI. Mad scientific name common name Phellodendron sachalinense CORK TREE Pinus cembra SWISS STONE PINE Pinus monticola WESTERN WHITE PINE Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra' AMERICAN ARBORVITAE 7 notes Tree reaching 7 m (15 m) in height, with straight trunk and broad crown; bark dark brown, thin, not corky, finely channeled and eventually plate-‐like, twigs red-‐brown; More vase-‐shaped than P. amurense, and larger-‐ growing, reaching 50' to 60' in height. Although the literature states the bark to be non-‐corky, I do not find this to be true; slightly hardier than P. amurense, and extremely fast-‐growing (DS 9). Narrow, densely columnar, extremely upright pyramid in youth, becoming open and flat-‐ topped with spreading, drooping branches when mature. Needles in 5's, held 4 to 5 years; very slow-‐growing, reaching 25' after 25-‐30 years. A medium-‐sized to large tree of narrowly conical habit, with minutely pubescent young shoots; winter buds cylindrical-‐ovoid. Leaves in 5's, 8cm to 10cm long, dark blue-‐green with white inner surface. Cones solitary or in clusters, ovoid-‐cylindrical, stalked, 10cm to 25cm long, usually clustered at the ends of branches, pendulous after the first year. A pyramidal form with good dark green foliage, the color holding well throughout the winter.
