This page is a repository of the plants and trees I have planted and/or identified on my property. As a rule, I don’t list plants that are classified as annuals unless they readily reseed themselves without my assistance. I have 8 acres, but I am only keeping up with what is immediately surrounding my house unless it is a rare or interesting specimen.
As this page grows, I hope to have a link to an internal page with a picture and some more information about each plant or tree.
Key:
PL – Something I have planted or introduced
ID – Existing plants that I have identified
Trees and shrubs:
- Winged Elm – Ulmus alata ID
- Sawtooth Oak – Quercus acutissima ID
- Japanese Maple ‘Bloodgood’ – Acer palmatum PL
- Sweetbay Magnolia – Magnolia virginiana PL
- Snowball Bush – Viburnum opulus PL
- Camellia – Camellia sasanqua ‘Yuletide’ PL
- Fragrant Tea Olive – Osmanthus fragrans PL
- Gardenia – I don’t know the variety because the plant tag was missing when I bought it. PL
- Loropetalum – I have red and green (with white flowers) but haven’t gotten around to looking at the tags yet. PL
- Sweetgum – Liquidambar styraciflua ID – These are growing everywhere in thick stands. I do not like them and I’m getting ready to cut down a few. If they didn’t drop seeds everywhere and grow in inappropriate places AND sucker like mad it wouldn’t be so bad. I have several really nice big specimens that can stay unless they start to rot and threaten to fall on the house. I’m hoping that planting a few pine trees will help curtail some of the seemingly uncontrollable growth (I’m not a pine tree fan, if that tells you anything).
Plants:
- Purple Coneflower – Echinacea purpurea – I started with one plant and have added more over the last several years. I now have an entire seed tray of these in the greenhouse, ready to germinate. PL
- Phlox – Phlox paniculata ‘David’ and ‘Laura’ PL
- Liatris – Liatris spicata PL
