Issue 100
Hello Great Gardener,

While you were reading the last e-newsletter, I was enjoying a week in beautiful Maine. Maine was hotter than Newark, so it was like going from the oven into the frying pan. The heat index for one of the days was 106 degrees. They said that this summer had been their hottest and most humid summer yet.

When I was younger, my parents took my brother and me whale watching. I remember being so scared because every time someone spotted a whale everyone on the boat would run to that side of the vessel and it would tip way over to the side. I thought for sure we would end up flipping upside down. I remember gripping the handrails for dear life while watching whales swim through the ocean. It was an experience I wanted to show my daughter this year, but unfortunately, every whale watching place was booked solid. Next time we go I need to remember to make a reservation ahead of time.

In this issue, fall webworm information. I noticed these were making an appearance across the Eastern states including Ohio on our way home. Also, five unique trees and shrubs for tight spots.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, hit reply. I would love to hear from you. Have a great-gardening day.


Sincerely,
Holly

Fall Webworms

Fall webworms are now making an appearance on trees and shrubs. They multiply rapidly and can defoliate a large number of trees and shrubs in a short amount of time. The best way to remove them is trimming out branches with the nest and disposing of them in the garbage. BT Thuricide can be used sparingly if an infestation is too high.
Five Trees And Shrubs For Tight Spaces
Image
Image
Japanese Snowbell 'Evening Light'
Styrax japonica 'Evening Light'
New For 2018!
One of the most beautiful blooming trees in the spring garden, new foliage opens to rich violet shades. Ultra-fragrant white bell shaped blooms are held open on maroon stems. Makes a striking combination with its dark purple foliage and shaded green tones. By early fall, this tree will re-bloom when kept consistently moist through summer months. The growth habit is slow, resulting in an upright, vase-shaped tree, which fits well into small, sunny or partly sunny spots in the garden.
Height: 6-10 Feet
Width: 4 Feet

Pyramidal European Hornbeam
Carpinus betula 'Fastigiata'
An attractive, densely branched, columnar tree when young, this tree ages to a stately, broad cone shape with handsome, fluted, gray bark. Distinctive, dark green foliage turns  stunning yellow-orange in fall. Plant in groups as a screen or windbreak, or use as a specimen in a narrow yard or street side. Takes well to hard pruning as a formal hedge.
Height: 35 Feet
Width: 15-25 Feet

 Ironwood Upright Persian Spire
Parrotia persica 'JL Columnar'
Native!
In the spring, leaves emerge with a strong purple cast that fades to shiny green, leaving a purple halo margin. Summer foliage is a dark emerald green.This lovely native has a long lasting, elaborate autumn color display of ever-changing yellow, orange, burgundy, and red hues. Up close it is a work of art!
Height: up to 25 feet
Width: up to 10 feet

Arborvitae 'Tiny Tower'
Thuja x 'MonRig'
Unlike, 'Emerald Green' Arborvitae, 'Tiny Tower' is deer resistant and does not lay open in heavy snow loads, making it a perfect replacement. Lively green foliage is fine to the touch and maintains a tight shape. Use this handsome, easy-care shrub to create an evergreen screen, define the back of a border, or feature as an accent specimen in landscape or container.
Height: 15-20 Feet
Width: 4-5 Feet
Image
Image
Juniper 'Taylor'
Juniperus virginiana 'Taylor'
Semi-soft, blue-green foliage and narrow columnar form provides a refined, elegant look. This handsome selection maintains a more dense, upright form than other similar plants. Makes a great privacy screen, a flanking plant for entrances or a dramatic vertical element to the landscape. Deer Resistant!
Height: 20-30 Feet
Width: 3 Feet

Plectranthus 'Velvet Elvis'
 
Velvet Elvis is bold and showy with large spikes of large lavender-blue flowers and very dark green leaves. It blooms in September and October when other plants are starting to look a bit raggedy. Excellent for containers and makes a lovely houseplant.
